Lag B'Omer: Caturday Art and Sunday Selfies With Queen Trixie

Greetings, Effurryone!

We are all exhausticated from last night's activities (mol). As you know, because We told you about it last week and many of you were there, last night We had a bonfire and barbecue, in honour of Lag b'Omer. Well, the thing is, Mummy also went to a Lag b'Omer celebration at the home of one of her caterwauling friends, in Nes Harim, which is a moshav in the Judaean foothills west of Jerusalem.  It seems they had lots and lots of good things to eat - though not really the sort of things we kitties care for. Mummy's friend, who runs a vegetarian catering service from her home, has a huge patio and an even bigger garden, and they built a bonfire and roasted potatoes and marshmallows and Mummy and her caterwauling friends brought homemade salads and vegetable pies and cakes and that sort of thing, and there was plenty to drink (Mummy especially liked the sangria, so it's a good thing She Herself wasn't driving). And when everybody had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat around the campfire singing, to the accompaniment of guitar and piano accordion, played by a couple of Mummy's other caterwauling friends. Anyway, She got home at what She describes as "an ungodly hour" - although We didn't really notice because We were busy with Our Own Festivities. And although She didn't get up till nearly 10 am, and had a couple of cups of coffee, She is still half asleep - which is why She is finding it so hard to take dictation now for Our Blog, and keeps making typos, which She then has to go back and correct (mol).

But it is Sunday, and there are blog hops to take part in - the Caturday Art blog hop, hosted by the Wise and Beautiful Athena and her HuMum, Marie and the Sunday Selfies blog hop, hosted by the Delightful and Predictably Unpredictable Kitties Blue and their HuMom, Janet. 

So, without further ado, here are three beautiful selfies Mummy and I picked out and artified for your delectation.

Furrst of all, here I am, enjoying a lovely sunpuddle that landed on My Royal Bed - at least, I was, until Mummy drew down the blind halfway so the sun wouldn't spoil the pictures hanging on the walls:

Ah, well - three of my pawsselain Dolly Sisters still got to sunbathe for a bit longer.
Anyway, We artified this with a combination of two art effects from LunaPic - Watercolour at 55% and Daisies at 30%:

I think this looks furry artsy-fartsy indeed, purrhaps the most artsy-fartsy of the three.

Next, I found quite a nice sunpuddle in front of the panoramic window in the living room, as I settled myself down on the coffee table:

But would you believe it?! Mummy found the sun too hot, so She lowered the blinds there too!!!

At all events, We still managed to make quite a nice artification of this one also, using a mix of Renoir at 58%, overlaid with Beauty at 35%:

Finally, when I was starting to get a little annoyed by having My Sunpuddles constantly diminished, I showed Mummy My Displeasure - See Me Roar!

So Mummy cut things short and used only one filter on this final artification - Ceremony at 45% - which, in My Humble Expurrt Opinion, is, in fact, the best of the three:

Which do you like best? Let Us know in the Comments section below.

Now, it is time to put up the blog hop badges:

        

And having done that - let's start hopping!

Till next time - Be well. Be safe. We love you all.
