are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?”

Thanks for stopping by friends. I love taking photos of Gibbs and Ziva with the morning sunrise, and the stripes, shadows and light it creates. The kids and I hope you have enjoyed the end results and connected quotes. Have an awesome sun-filled week!
I love the photos, and you’ve given me a lot to think about.
I hope you’re off to a wonderful week. Are you still in the home office?
Thsnks Dan. I am still at home office and will continue to be with the furry co-workers until at least the end of the month. Probably into June. Which means more opportunities for feline photos!
They’re going to miss you when this ends.
They are going to starve… ;-p
Hahaha – I can see it now.
“What’s wrong Gibbs?”
“I only ate once this morning, and that was an hour ago. Where’s mom?”
LOL, yup, that is true!
Remember that ‘Yipes Stripes!’ gum commercial? No gum for the cats….
I used to chew Fruit Stripe gum, Lois. Forgot about that stuff! Nope, no gum for the cats. Gibbs would rather chew on a bird or a piece of bacon.
I love Ziva and Gibbs! I love Shel Silverstein. I love Light and Shadow! Well done, Mary! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the applause, Cheryl! And the kids thank you for the love!
Well this is a post of a different stripe. Love your photos. Your cats are born models.
The fur babies are far more photogenic than their humsn mom. Glad to share them!
Beautifully captured photos, Mary J. — and gorgeous subjects. 🐱 The pairing of quotes to photos is terrific.
Sorry… Crystal has just killed her string (for the 10,000th time) and now demands praise. Loudly. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks Teagan! Tell Crystal she’s a good girl and that my kids appreciate her hunting/homicidal string methods. Lol…hugs!
Wonderful choice of opening poem — beautiful pics of the furbabies ❤
Thanks Joey! 🙂❤
