Emma Pearl 001

Enlarge please


This little stinker is named Emma Pearl. She's about 8 years old and weighs only about 6 pounds. She was clearly the runt of her litter.  Please enlarge the photo and see if I'm the only one that thinks her eye is the "the eye of sauron."   Every time I see her in sunlight, my wedding ring starts spinning on my finger...

  4. Don't know about eye of sauron, but it's a plenty fascinating image.

    Nice photos here! I found you at either altadenahiker or Brenda's Arizona--glad I finally made the visit.

    Congrats on your cancer news. I'm trying not to imagine 20 days on that diet!

  5. The Eye of Sauron now turns to Pat Tillet... once of my fav books/movies, definately looks like it.

  6. I like her. Plus you can see the spark of your demise in her eye...

  7. Her eye is so much more beautiful than Sauron's! Especially when enlarged the colours are so vivid, they almost move!

    Can't stop giggling at your "Every time I see her in sunlight, my wedding ring starts spinning on my finger..."

    :D

  12. hmmm... you might be onto something! Green instead of fiery red and yellow, but otherwise pretty close. Did Peter Jackson ever have access to your cat?

  15. Really great shot...it is always their eyes that make cats so mysterious.

  16. I love her, I can't believe she's that lightweight for a cat her age. Very pretty eyes. Reminds me of my mom's cat.

    days.

  23. Reptilian comes to mind. I wonder what she's like in a BAD mood? Amazing eye.

  24. Creeeeptastic. But mostly awesome. It almost looks like a mini fish...

  25. What a natural! Obviously the camera loves her.

  26. If you start seeing orcs and the trees around your house start toppling, I'd grow concerned.

    Looking forward to your Movie Dirty Dozen on Monday!

  27. Woah!! This is crazy! You're so right, the similarity is striking!!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Warren - I like a lot also. I checked yours out, pretty cool...

    Tapirgal - She is a little terror. I think because she is so small, she over compensates

    SN - The more I enlarge the eye, the weirder it looks

    Talli - She's a cutie!

    Alex - I'm already concerned!!!

    Sarah - Scary looking!
