I got into my office, turned on the computer, placed my coffee next to it, various thoughts were forming in my head and I was determined to use my consciousness to sort them out and organize what I felt was unorganized. I did not want randomness. I think I was not happy on the inside but had convinced myself that I was. Do you ever have that feeling? I was not thrilled about .... while immensely thankful about ....
Well, this condition did not last very long thanks to one of my favorite blogger friends, dear Mette, who awarded us the Liebster award! Yay! I sensed clouds lifting and rays of sun coming through, light flowing. Thank you Dear Mette.... you made our day.
To honor this award, I decided to do a photo shoot of the furry beauties, and so I present to you today more photos of the boy beauties.
When I told Augustus to pose he did not hesitate, he realized the significance of this event. He lay on his side and asked me if the pose was good.
Ahem, ahem, I liked the way those leaves draped above but I wanted more.
"How's this?", he wanted to know. Ahem, ahem, ...more!
"How's this, the one-sided gaze, pretending like I don't see you?", I told him that he was on the right track.
"How's this?, the love collapse?". "Oh ya!". "I may have to eat you now", I said,
to which he replied with his baby smile.
He finally felt too shy and asked me to stop. I could not ask for more cuteness.
Ginger Puff was listening from a short distance away using his sensitive swivel ears.
He told me that he did not want to pose today...sometimes he feels subconscious of himself!
"He was thinking", he said.
I did manage to catch this wishful look that happens every time
a bird flies overhead disrupting his train of cat thoughts.
