I figured it was about time for another Still Moments post. Lately I have been working on a series of personal fine art work that I have had in my head for a long time. Chairs. It sounds weird but there is something about a chair alone that speaks to me. I feel that they both speak of the absence of presence while becoming personified. We all get inspiration from different places and the inspiration for this series came from the movie, "The Village." In one frame there is an empty rocking chair in a field. There is something about that one frame that just grabbed me. Maybe it was the mystery behind it? Did someone just get up and walk away? Was there a reason? We will see how this series evolves but I am fascinated to see where it goes.

For some reason there is nothing like a still moment with a curled up kitty. There's something about that warm fury body on a rainy day that calls for blankets, a warm cup of coffee, and cuddles. We have two cats, Briscoe and Sookie. Sookie is featured here. While I pass by them a million times a day in this position, there are some moments when their peaceful nature just strikes me.
It's been awhile since I've contributed to the Still Moments series that I've been collecting. But this moment hit me the other day. What is more still and than a quiet house and a cat appreciating a sun beam? I don't know, there's just something about it that is peaceful. Pets themselves bring so much comfort and peace to our lives. I try to keep my crazy cat lady tendencies to a minimum but it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate our pets. There are times when they drive me nuts but at the end of a bad day they can also be a great comfort. I know many of you feel the same way. So enjoy a cup of tea (or maybe something stronger) and cuddle up with that pet today. Here are a few of the "runners up" for the still moments for this entry.
