Fish Taking to Water and Bacon's Friends

The weather today was fabulous, cool, though it would dip into the 30s (that's Farenheit) at night. And true to his words, hubby stopped by Office Depot on his way back and lugged home a standalone scanner. Well, lugging may be overstating the fact, since the scanner is so slender. It's more like carrying a gift bag in one hand. See for yourself.

The flattest thing on the table is the latest addition to the Internet Publishing crew: Canon CanoScan Lide 90. Installation was a breeze, even for the VISTA operating system. It comes with just one cable, a USB, and comes on when the computer is switched on. Hubby likes the soft sizzling sound when it scans.

Anyway, what's the first thing one does when given a new toy? Play with it, right? And here then are the results of hubby's playing, thanks to my foresight in stocking the "supply" earlier in the day. At first hubby wanted to scan just the fish drawings, capturing the fishes like, well, fishes taking to water. But an evening call from CY changed the "fishy" theme. See below.











Notice that only one drawing has an even number of fish. Just a quirk in my train of drawing.

Now, CY has a cat named Bacon, a black and white feline. And when she called this evening, I offered her the cat drawings. So consider this a preview, CY dear.

Could that be a flying mouse? I need to have my eyes checked, or my brain examined.

Snooze time!

Good job Mom & Dad! Mom for painting these pictures, and Dad for scanning them (and writing the captions... *ahem*). My favorite fish painting is the first one-- I like that it really looks like some of them are swimming, and some of them are just lingering. And--I love the first cat one! But why is there bamboo by the cat? The second kitty looks like a tiger--is that what it's supposed to be?

Nicely drawn, mom is now varying her scope of abilities.

Because it's outdoor. As for the tiger-like cat, they are all cats anyway. Notice the slit eyes, perhaps the cat is straining to hear with those pointed ears. Or only dogs do that?

No, cats can move their ears. Dogs do, as well.
