| Farmyard Cat, Village of Lewisburg, Ohio © Doug Hickok Mystery of the day... What is this a picture of ? Cute, cuddly kitten or Napoleon's hat. Clint Eastwood's poncho from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or Inspector Clouseau's trench coat. Misplaced hubcap from an old jaguar or Prairie schooner overpacked with beaver pelts. Ronaldo's retired soccer shoes or Denizen of Katmandu. Snoozing Yeti or Napping Yak. Mozart's wig or Tolstoy's beard. Triple layer Lemon Bourbon cake or Insidious alien from top secret Area 51. Hypotenuse of a Euclidian triangle or Cheerleader's pompoms. Lady Gaga's eye-patch or Blackbeard the Pirate's manbag. Garfield's stand-in Chester A. Arthur or Coney Island hot dog. Pippi Longstocking's pony tails or Fannie Mae's empty purse. Wombat disguised as a chicken or Java Chip Frappuccino with extra whipped cream and chocolate drizzle on top. Vision from the mind of Hieronymus Bosch or Salvador Dali's handlebar mustache. Great Pyramid of Giza or Fearsome feline predator, bane to all barnyard mice. It is curious that what appears obvious to one person can be so completely different to another (i.e. religion, politics, art, sports, etc.). Although today's post seems utterly absurd, it poses the question, does perception depend more on objective observation or subjective frame of mind? |

that's what i was doing the whole weekend.. lol! cute capture..
ReplyDeleteGenerally, it has to be a mix of both, but some people use more one or the other, it depends on the individual. This is my opinion.
ReplyDeleteBeyond philosophy, the cat is great!
Great shot of this very nice cat.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Lovely kitty.
ReplyDeleteI see a very adorable kitty-cat!
ReplyDeletehow lovely it is!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting perspective in your words today!I need to confess, I'm totally confuse now! :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway the important point : today is Monday, and I would love taking a nap as this ADORABLE kitty but I can't !
I hate Mondays! :(

I'm wondering what sort of celebrating you did on father's day after reading this post.
ReplyDeleteAn life of cat...
ReplyDeleteThat would be quite a discussion, Doug, right?! :) Some things seem so obvious until you get someone else's input on it!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, what an adorable, cute and cuddly klitten. Suddenly I feel very tired....
So sweet, look that little paw! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAww little kitty. Looks like a sound sleeper!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dough, Summer time is my time for work so I will not visit you so often. HAPPY SUMMER for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon

ReplyDeleteaaaaaaaaaawwww i really love everything about this photo. the composition, the natural light and the tight crop :D
ReplyDeleteoh man, you just made Trey's day with this picture...he wants a kitten so bad!
ReplyDeleteYes, but is it really a kitten? That's the metaphysical question of the day :^)
ReplyDeleteHow can you thing of anything but that cute face. Interesting post.
ReplyDeleteCe n'est pas un chat.
ReplyDeleteThe science points to differences in hardwiring for many of the variations in perspective on politics, religion, art etc. So I guess the answer (which seems like a waffle) is that my objective observation may be different than yours.
GREAT post
It is soooo cute, reminds my cat's sleeping shot ;)
