Floored Meets Critters

Ain't no way 
we're ever going to forget Aretha.

"Sometimes, what you're looking for is already there."
Aretha Franklin


Welcome it's been awhile but I'm playing along with Carmi's
THEMATIC PHOTOGRAPHIC




and to lend a hand critters
for
SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

and our theme is




Floored.

"Be your own artist,
and always be confident in what you're doing.
If you're not going to be confident
you might as well not be doing it."
Aretha Franklin



"I just love being floored by
sunrises
and 
Hollyhocks
and critter faces
and
 beautiful words."



What's that
Rising above the ocean floor?
Okay perhaps not really the ocean floor.
Yet rising upward!




"Come on floor it! Must catch Yogi and the stolen picnic basket!" 
cried the Ranger.


Flooring it comes in so many various ways.



About 45 mph was the highest speed for these oldies 
but the hood ornament seems to be enjoying the ride!


It's easy to see when someone is 
flooring it
by their body expression.



We floored it Cat!



... and she nailed it!
Across the yard she floored it!






Put the treat on the floor please,
and back away Kitty Cat, treats are for pups only!


My what shiny floor for bouncing balls.
What groomsmen do while the ladies get ready.




So whatever take floored it does in your world
it's your perception. 


"The world is full of magic things,
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper."
W.B. Yeats


"You cannot define a person on just one thing.
You can't just forget all these wonderful and good things
that a person has done 
because one thing didn't come off 
the way you thought it should come off."
Aretha Franklin

"People don't really have to give you anything
so appreciate what people give you."Aretha Franklin

Every day is a gift.

Great post Karen. Dogs have their own way of using floors, making them dirty and licking them clean.
