Photo Of The Week: Luminosity

Tsunami at Create With Joy
"Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes!"
Theophile Gautier

Welcome to Create With Joy! One of my favorite blogging tasks is selecting the topic for each week's photography post. Since all eyes have recently been on Legend due to his over-the-top antics and larger-than-life personality, I thought I'd shine today's spotlight on the stately yet unassuming Tsunami.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in the mind of a cat? What do you think Tsunami is up to in this picture? As always, your comments brighten my day!

This week, I'm continuing my journey around the world - from the comfort of my home - and meeting some of the most creative bloggers on the planet! Would you like to join me on this amazing adventure? For more details, visit me at One World One Heart!

Have a fabulous week, dear friends! For more great photography, visit:

    He is stalking something below him. I love cats. I have 9 of them. We live on a ranch they are barn/ porch cats. All neutered of course. They are such characters. Sometimes I blog about them too. Terah. From CED

    Awwww, how cute! I have several granddogs, and occasionally visiting grandkitties. I have too many allergies to get another one of my own. But I surely love to visit cute ones, like yours, online. :) Thank you for a lovely Sweet Shot Tuesday.

  33. MaggieFebruary 12, 2011 at 12:48 PM

    Well, I think cats are usually thinking about food, or chasing something to play with/eat. I think Tsunami is intent on something like that that has caught her eye. Tsunami is very beautiful!

    Soooo beautiful- his eyes really speak to me! As a fellow cat lover I am often trying to figure out what my cats are thinking.....he looks pensive and dreamy to me- like he's trying to decide between a bird watching session at the window or a nice cozy nap.....

    Tsunami is beautiful. He may be ready to pounce on something or be waiting for you to leave some food unattended. My cat, Alfie, went for a piece of Victoria sponge yesterday whilst I was at the front door. Apparently liked to like the icing sugar & cream centre!
