Scavenger Hunt Sunday & Sunlit Sunday

Welcome!  Thank you to all of my new followers and of course my old ones as well for visiting and commenting.  You help to make my day a little brighter.

Won't you please join me for SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY hosted by Ashley (Ramblings and Photos).

This weeks prompts:  Camouflaged, Nutty, Old Style, Haphazard, Monochromatic.

Click to enlarge Photos.

CAMOUFLAGED: 

Well this little kitty really isn't "camouflaged" but he sure blended in well with his surroundings.  -  This is a new neighborhood kitty I spotted a few weeks ago across the street. 

NUTTY:

 Salted Pecans qualify as nutty and yummy too!

OLD STYLE:
I had no idea what this meant exactly so I edited a photo to give it an "old style" vintage look. It was overcast and somewhat foggy here today which helped to give this just the right feel for the old style vintage edit.


HAPHAZARD:

This looks like a bunch of yellow boxes stacked haphazardly on top of each other.  It's actually a metal sculpture on the Whitman College campus entitled, Balancing Act. - This was taken last month but never shown on the blog.

MONOCHROMATIC:
I couldn't decide whether I should use this or not as it's not entirely monochromatic but I thought it was close enough and it turned out so cute I decided to go ahead and go with it.

Coleen's leopard hat up against my leopard blanket and our tan curtains all blend together in monochromatic tones.

Also joining Karen (My Little Home and Garden) for SUNLIT SUNDAY.

We actually had a little sunshine this week!



I happened to venture outside and captured this little guy enjoying the sunshine. I love the sunshine that seems to make his tail sparkle.


and this one of our cat, Miss Dottie enjoy a bath in the sunshine.


While I'm not participating this week I would also like to mention a great meme to visit is Kathy's - SONGOGRAPHY.

    Nice to meet you!

    Both squirrel and Miss Dottie seem to be enjoying their sunny bath, sans bubbles!

  6. Your camouflaged kitty looks like my Bert! Really love old style and that squirrel's perch looks rather precarious! :)

  7. I enjoyed both sets of photos, Ida, and noticed a beautiful cat in each.

    Miss Dottie is looking fantastic, sitting in the sun and taking care of her personal hygiene! The squirrel can count his blessings that she's indoors as he enjoys the beautiful day.

  10. Lovely photos, Ida... partial to Dottie's, of course. This week I'm attempting to sneak up on my kitties for some sleeptime pics (the only time I am permitted near them with a camera LOL).

  27. Hi Ida,

    Your 'entries' for both memes, are so very interesting! In love with years gone by, your 'old style' photo is simply enchanting and the new 'kit' on the block is definitely a charmer!

    Thanks for following Poppy View; happy to follow you back!

    Happy Monday!
