Christmas Animals

, ,

I have been doing some Photoshop work for a fundraiser to benefit the sanctuary where I am a volunteer. The idea was to change the backgrounds on some of the pictures I have taken and the resulting pictures would be used in Christmas ornament photo frames and sold at an upcoming event. They aren't the greatest, but they will only be 1.125 inches in width, so a lot of detail will be lost anyway.

Thought I would share a couple with you. First is Monju singing Christmas carols.




Then Dante contemplating the world looking past the commercialism of the season.



I got a little whimsical while I was working on the one for the bear. She was the first resident of the sanctuary and the sanctuary is actually named after her. I thought Ursa Major was a good title for it. The constellation she is looking at is Ursa Major and she is the most important bear at the sanctuary.

Those are great! I wonder if Miss Ursa is connected with her cousin in the sky. She looks like it!

Wonderful photos, Lois!

The one of Monju singing carols cracked me up. Best laugh I've had in a while! Loved it!

You're obviously in far more sympathy with your animals than I ever could be. My captions would have read "The tiger couldn't understand why people kept insisting that her fur lit up when she yawned", "Dante was danged if Rudoph was going to get his nose back", and "The bear searched the sky. After tonight there was only going to be one great bear in this part of the universe..."

I really have to get a life.

Thanks Robin, I think she must be, she seems to have that 6th sense, at least as far as to know if you brought her peppermints!

Thanks Brian!

Adele - I thought you might like the parallel!!

Star - I'm glad I could make you laugh!
