[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I lost my cat, The Toots recently. She was my best friend and companion. Losing her cut too deep.

This is not the greatest quality image, but wanted to share a happier time in our garden in Northern Ireland.This was one of her favourite perches and her scratching post.
When I moved from Northern Ireland back to the US, she flew across the Atlantic with me, in the cabin of the plane. Not a peep out of her for the whole journey.
She was a Bombay cat-quite a rare breed.

Hi Joni,
Sorry about your loss. Pets always tend to be part of the family dont they, and losing them can be hard. I do like this shot-good way to remember your friend. You can see her lovely eyes, and her shock of balck is wonderfully contrasted aginst the colourful garden.
Regards,
Subashini

hello Joni,

Hello Joni,

Photographs hold more than images and that is why this shot feels so good.

I copied the shot into PSE and added poster edges in the artistic options. It makes your photograph look like a painting. It would be great to print a pp example and have it on the wall. A wonderful memory jogger ... once the hurt has receded.

I can't post the w/s as I have had my quota for today but you might enjoy experimenting.

Best wishes,
Bev :-)

Welcome Joni,
sory about your loos. Photography is very good because it is inspired by a deep feeling love and sorrow. Your photography it,s kind of beautiful epitaph.

Hi Joni,
I am very sorry about the lost of your dear friend
Tootie. Loosing a member of family or a dear friend is the worst thing of all. I know I lost my mom recently...Les doux souvenirs sont tissés de moments magiques passés avec les êtres aimés...
Best regards, Andrée

HI Joni
Sorry for your loss, I defninetly know how it feels,the emptiness will eventually go away but you never forget. I know it would not replace Toots but getting another one really helps heal and you are doing a favor by adopting another one.
A very nice tribute and well done.
Happy Valentine's day.
Dot
