Bedtime TV Cat

My beautiful cat enjoys watching TV in bed before going to sleep. I don't normally approve of TV, but who am I to deny her the chirping and flitting of birds that somebody recorded by setting a camera in a park for an hour near a bird feeder? In Raku's case, TV is a small tablet playing YouTube videos designed for cats.

Raku finds this episode particularly captivating.

I woke up to find her still watching intently. I'm afraid that if I let her, she'd binge-watch Paul Dinning's Videos for Cats until daybreak. I had to put my foot down at some point and make her go to sleep.

Relaxed

I long to be this relaxed and content. 

Feline Intervention

I think it might be time for an intervention. She's been on her leopard-print cat pad for two days straight.

Please notice the original Leslie Ravey table. 

Rebirth

Early spring and abundant rain is bringing new growth of our Esperanza bush. I thought it woudl be appropriate for a Random Photo Day. Also, my cat, Anastasia, had to be in the photo. She's in the background, on the right-hand side. White with Black.

Prisma Phone App

I have discovered a new phone app; it's called Prisma and it sort of picks up where Instagram leaves off, with regards to photo enhancing. It makes works of art out of your images. There are over 30 filters and they keep adding new ones. The filters create works in the style of various artists like Van Gogh, Lichtenstein, Munch and Picasso. They have worked to include all manner of artist styles – line drawing, pen & ink, artists like Thota Vaikuntam, Mononoke and Daryl Feril, and styles like comic books, posters and holiday themed.

I've also used Prisma with another app called Layout, which allows me to combine several filters of the same image into one image.

They have added their own social networking aspect to the app, but none of my friends are on it yet. (Which kind of defeats the purpose of the app.) So, I post on Facebook and Instagram and other places where my friends hang out. It's nice to have something that keeps me busy while I should be doing something productive, or when I am trying to go to sleep but can't. It's fun and it takes very little work on my part.

So, what do you think? Is this an app you'd use?
