Beautiful Lois!! It took me a minute to find the KITTY!!
Lois Bryan replied
LOL!!!! Thanks, sweetie … I didn’t even see the kitty myself when I was first working on this one … then in the subsequent shots, as she came forward a bit more, I remembered the encounter. She was sooooo loving … I could have stood there in the middle of the road, petting and cooing over her all day, lol!!!!!
Cheri Perry
OMG This is adorable. I love it…your work is always fantastic to me anyways, but this takes the cake with the kitty. I love it.
Lois Bryan replied
Cheri, thank you soooooo much!!!!! LOL!!!!! So glad you liked the kitty … she’s just emerging from her cool napping place to greet me!!!! She knew a cat-lover when she found me!!!!
