Elvin continues to be one of my favorite (and most cooperative) photo subjects. I don't know about you, but I start yawning when I look at this picture.

Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your comment. Makes me tired every time I look at it. That was one big yawn. Glad you like it.

this is a seriously great cat picture.

Artist Reply: Thank you Gail. I wasn't going to post this one until I saw what it looked like with a little brown toning. It has certainly gotten a lot of comments. A lucky shot.

this is fantastic....wish my cats were this expressive!!!!

Artist Reply: Thank you very much Kate. This was a lucky shot. I caught Elvin at the top of his yawn on a very lazy Sunday afternoon. Glad you stopped by to take a look.

Artist Reply: It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and Elvin was pretty tired. I didn't have to wait long for this mammoth yawn. A lucky shot. Thank you for your comment.

How fun! I don't think I've ever seen any of my cats do that. You must have your camera around your neck at all times.

Artist Reply: I just happened to be prowling with my camera when Elvin was ready to start snoozing. A lucky catch. Thanks so much for your comment.

Amazing photograph. I love the contrast of the grays and the blacks.

Artist Reply: Thank you very much Jerry. The fact that Elvin is sitting in direct sunlight certainly helped increase the contrast. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
