    The Windows flower/plants theme. I used to have pictures of my (now deceased) cat rotating, but I rarely use my own computer now that I have a work laptop and don't play games anymore. That deceased cat isn't Nika by the way. She's the cat I grew up with, Siepie. We got her when I was about five years old and we had her for 19 years.

    You kept a deceased cat for 19 years? :omg: Is this some weird Dutch tradition or did you just forget where she was?

          I posted that earlier in this thread.

          What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

            Why do they rotate? Are their gyros broken?

                        Love your compositions! You have an excellent eye. Not to hijack the thread or anything but what camera are you using? My wife gave me money to buy a new camera for Christmas (so I could take advantage of the Boxing week sales). I had an Olympus OM-1 in the early 80's that I fairly wore out and then got busy with kids and career and didn't shoot much. Last Saturday I bought a Panasonic Lumix GX7 with a compatible bayonet mount lens adapter so I can use all my old OM-1 glass. The camera model is the latest and greatest but for now it's actually more than I need.
