Don't Ripple My Feathers

Today's PhotoHunt theme is *RIPPLE* ... we hope you won't be too disappointed that no potato chips are involved. 

KATIE:  Waffles! What are you doing to my feather???

WAFFLES:  *chomp-chomp-chomp*  pfh!  *chomp-chomp* phf!

KATIE:  WAFFLES!!!

WAFFLES:  But Boss, I'm not supposed to talk with my mouth open.

KATIE:  Isn't THAT the truth.

WAFFLES:  Um, I mean I'm not supposed to talk with my mouth full. Of feathers.

KATIE:  You better quite rippling my feathers, or I'll–

WAFFLES:  I know... Or you're going to ripple ME. 

KATIE:  Yeah, something like that.

Crime Scene at the Townhouse

Hi everyone, Detective Katie here.

We interrupt today's Saturday Photohunt theme, *DOOR,* to bring you breaking developments live from the Townhouse.

As you know, Waffles has a well established reputation for stealing food and treats. Remember the beef tenderloin??? According to eyewitness accounts, he's been seen opening the kitchen cupboards. His first offense was minor. Just the lower cabinet containing the toaster. He then moved to the FOOD cabinet which is positioned adjacent to the toaster cabinet.

Glogirly was forced to relocate all bagged food and treats to the upper deck of kitchen cupboards. But that didn't stop him. He unabashedly scaled the pristine counters, reaching the highest of the cabinets.

As his crimes have increased in severity and frequency, Glogirly has had no choice but to tape the cabinet doors shut until she could consult the experts at Home Depot for a more permanent solution. I suggested we relocate Waffles to the kitten room and lock the door. But Glogirly did not heed my advice.

THIS is what we woke up to this morning. The taped cupboard doors had been breached overnight, orange fur was found stuck to the tape and pawprints were clearly visible on the otherwise shiny countertop. 

The crime scene extended from the kitchen into the fireplace room. The victim's remains, just an empty shell of what used to be, lay lifeless on the floor.  

The deceased has been identified as a brand new bag of freeze dried turkey treats. No other information is available at this time.

Photohunt: AQUA ...uh oh

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Whatcha doing?

KATIE:  Just getting ready for today's photohunt theme.

WAFFLES:  What's the theme?

KATIE:  Aqua.

WAFFLES:  But what's aqua got to do with the faucet thing?

KATIE:  Oh nothing.

KATIE:  ...cue theme music from 'Jaws."

WAFFLES:  Uh oh.

My Shimmer's Bigger Than Your Shimmer

KATIE:  So Waffles. Do you have your Saturday Photohunt picture ready?  Today's theme is *shimmer.*

WAFFLES:  Wow, you look nice Boss. You look WAY slimmer than last year. Have you been working out?

KATIE:  SHIMMER Waffles, not slimmer.

WAFFLES:  Boss! Your shimmers are really, um... BIG. Maybe your shimmers should start working out too.

KATIE:  Are you telling me my shimmers are fat???

WAFFLES:  Well your shimmers ARE bigger than my shimmers.

KATIE:  Exactly. And don't you forget it.

Saturday Photohunt: *CREATIVITY*

Hi everyone, Katie here.
Katie here.
Katie here.
Katie here.

Do you hear an echo???

Today's photohunt theme is creativity. I had to think long and hard about this one.

Should I stick Waffles in a silly hat?
Which silly hat should I stick Waffles in?

Should I choose a glamorous beauty shot of me?
Which glamorous beauty shot should I choose?

So many hats, so much beauty, so little time.



In the end I settled on one of Glogirly's favorite creative tricks. It's called the Droste Effect. It's the effect of a picture appearing within itself, within itself, again and again and again into what seems to be infinity.

The appearance is "recursive" in that the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. It can't really go on forever though. It continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows. Or in my case, only as long as it takes for Waffles to photobomb my special effect.

This concludes your art history lesson for the day.
