The Thrill is Gone... by peggysirk

The Thrill is Gone...

for Scrappy and for me. The beautiful snowfall from yesterday has turned into an icy, treacherous mess. Scrap's face says it all ~ winter weather sux. :)
hello there gorgeous kitty ! Peggy I love this shot. eye colours are great. ;-)
January 11th, 2011  
Ha, I hate when the soft snow turns to hard cold ice. I am with Scrappy...
January 11th, 2011  
The expression on his face conveys the sentiment perfectly...and I love the footprints in the background!
January 11th, 2011  
Sorry it's gone all gross on ya'll. I only like it from indoors, too. Beautiful the first day and then a pain. Agreed. Fortunately, we missed the ice. Whew. Hopefully, life will be back to normal soon. Cute photo, though. :)

what a cute cat
January 11th, 2011  
Love this crop Peggy with the footprints in the snow telling the story of why Scrappy wants in. Great eyes!
January 11th, 2011  
Agreed! Bring on the sunshine!
January 11th, 2011  
Poor Scrappy! And poor you; such a shortlived pleasure.
Thanks for your words of comfort, Peggy. So far, although the river has broken its banks we're still out of reach. Not so good for the Brisbaneites who are suffering badly.
January 12th, 2011  
Agreed - the sun surfaced at about 5pm, and promptly left at sundown - it may not return tomorrow.
January 12th, 2011  
What are you doing with the camera in your hand. Let me in.
January 12th, 2011  
we feel the same way! stay safe!
January 12th, 2011  
awwwwww! I wish I could see that at my door!

Great photo! The contrasting colors, the look on his face, the footprints in the background, even the title...everything is perfect. I love it!
January 12th, 2011  
His face looks like he might have icicles in some uncomfortable areas!! Oh my! I love this!...it made me snort-laugh!
January 12th, 2011  
Great picture! Looks like he's begging to come in :)
January 12th, 2011  
Oh, how adorable! Don't you just love kitty expressions!!
January 12th, 2011  
Scrappy is adorable...the snow just started here...tomorrow I'll be snowed in again! I have terrible cabin fever and it's not even remotely close to Spring....we are in trouble this winter!
January 12th, 2011  
such a pretty kitty! Love it! Great picture!
January 12th, 2011  
I started laughing as soon as I saw Scrappy's face. You're right, his little face definitely says it all. It's like he's saying "what the heck, I live in the south for a reason"!! Great picture Peggy. I hope that things clear up for you soon. We're used to it in Minnesota, but when you aren't, it can be really dangerous.
January 12th, 2011  
I love the expression....cool shot
January 12th, 2011  
love the expression on scrappys face so funny made me laugh
January 12th, 2011  
@jennlouise Thanks, Jennie ~ I agree, Scrappy does have great eyes. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@seattle Scrappy knows weather...and this ranks low in his book. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@samdfriedman He lets you know what he's thinking with that expressive face. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@wellbride Glad you just got the "good" stuff! This ice is not cool! :)
January 12th, 2011  
@jillypop Thanks, Jill. He was a street fighting feral turned Mama's Boy. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@barbsmith Thanks, Barb! Scrappy was definitely not happy with the weather conditions!
January 12th, 2011  
@chamrick Ha ~ I am so over winter!
January 12th, 2011  
@girlie I like the snow for about a day, Scrappy less than that. :) Hope the water isn't continuing to rise...keep us posted.
January 12th, 2011  
@joetheartist It's been a long winter already, Joe!
January 12th, 2011  
@sarasdadandmom It was just a quick shot and then he was back in making a bee line for the middle of my bed! :)
January 12th, 2011  
@caeralee You stay safe, too, Jennifer! I think the aniticipation of snow is far more fun than the aftermath! :)
January 12th, 2011  
@kimshawball Oh, Kim...I so hope that Meg finds her way to your backdoor very soon. I hope she just sensed the impending weather and instinctively looked for "higher ground". My fingers are crossed for her safe return.
January 12th, 2011  
@pinkribbonwendi Scrappy has a very expressive face...he totally lets you know what he's thinking with just a look. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@pfmandeville He was more like demanding to come in!! And, of course, he did after just a quick photo!
January 12th, 2011  
@natika Thanks, Renanta...one look from Scrappy conveys a thousand words!
January 12th, 2011  
@isisweiss Hunker down, Isis! It's going to be a long winter. Stay safe and toasty warm. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@jpblanton Thanks, Jennifer! Scrappy is pretty photogenic for a street fighting stray. :)
January 12th, 2011  
@petersonsheri Thanks, Sheri! Scrappy and I have both had our fill of winter weather! The snow and ice continue to stick around since it's not been above freezing for days...another no melt day today. :(
January 12th, 2011  
@emer Thanks, Emer! Scrappy has a way of letting you know exactly what's on his mind! :)
January 12th, 2011  
@metatransitions Thanks! Scrappy gets his point across with just a look! :)
January 12th, 2011  
oh Peggy wonderful picture! love his eyes and expression. one other poor cat victim of the 365 project! "put your camera down and let me in Mama!"
January 12th, 2011  
His look seems to say "stop taking photos of me and let me in the house!"
January 12th, 2011  
@parisouailleurs @cccoupland Merci/Thanks, Helene and Chris ~ I just took a couple of quick shots and then he was in and racing up the stairs to settle in the center of my bed for the rest of the day!
January 12th, 2011  
This is such a cute image....he's definitely giving you "the look"! :) Great composition on this one!
January 12th, 2011  
@peggysirk he deserved it! you're so mean!!!!
January 12th, 2011  
@parisouailleurs :) Juste un peu.
January 12th, 2011  
Nice balance of the black and white colors...I think that would be hard to do through a window and your shot is crystal clear! Wow! Hope you are doing well...just watched the news on the east coast last night. Scary when you aren't used to it! Hope your grocery supply run is lasting you! :)
January 12th, 2011  
I think the being stuck inside for 3-4 days is WAY worse than the anticipation :P especially with 3 kids!
January 12th, 2011  
Ha, cute! He definitely doesn't like the cold. :)
January 13th, 2011  
Love the expression on Scrappy's face, I can hear him saying, "let me in the house NOW, woman!" No snow down here, but it is so cold, 22° last night and we are in the deep south. Hope the electricity doesn't go out, we only have electric heat.
January 13th, 2011  
So cute! Such beautiful eyes. Looking like he really wants to come into the warm house :) This is a great picture, I love the expression you managed to capture. :)
January 20th, 2011  
Great shot. I especially find interest in the shoe prints that Scrappy seemed to make.
