. . . .to smell the flowers.
Max likes to 'help' me in the garden. Helpful things like leaping out of trees, hiding himself in bags full of weeds, and generally making a nuisance of himself. Occasionally though he just takes a rest in the sunshine and enjoys the flowers.
Taken with Canon 450D and manipulated in PSP. I wanted to give an effect of golden sunshine but not sure I succeeded :)
Thanks for your views and any comments, and Max says Meow.

We should all follow Max's example and take time to stop and smell the flowers. Wonderful use of composition, color, and your extraordinary gift of technique.

My favourite colour of a kitty !
Exactly Boris copycat LOL and as helpful around the house as mine.
Lots of sunshine here [even too much - half would be enough to drive me crazy with envy !!!! LOL]
Thanks, dear LE, and please tell Max not to meow too loud - my Boris will get a headache LOL

Have you explained what curiosity will do to him, LE?
I like the effect.

I knew this had to be Max again, what a cutie and he seems to have so many expressions and so much character...on my desktop to enjoy...a delightful shot.

He's so cute Lyn and he seems to be posing in this one. I like the editing technique - it gives it texture.

Lovely and beautiful image of your handsome cat. It's always so helpful when our little friends help out in the garden, ours protects us from wild leaves that threaten us.
