The Cat In The Hat . . . a book I used to read to my boys when they were little. We loved the rhyming, silly words and imaginative characters & illustrations of all the Dr. Seuss books and these were some of the first books they learned to read on their own. Canon 40D, 17-85mm lens, AV mode, AWB, AV 5.6, SS 1/60 and on camera flash. Adjusted levels a bit and added a soft light layer in PShop. I need to stop using the on camera flash and get out my new electronic flash and learn how to use it. I think these are a little dark.
A few of you asked how I made the little gumdrop people in yesterdays post. I used a couple of sizes of gumdrops, asst colors of licorice twists for hair etc, and sprinkles for the features. A plastic knife works great to cut the gumdrops, then mold into shape and use the sticky inside as glue to connect all the parts. Use a toothpick to attach the eyes, nose and mouth and insert a wire hanger. I even made a garland by stringing lots of gumdrops onto nylon thread.

Thanks for the gum drop directions. They're adorable! Nice version of "hat!"
I have so many great memories of my grandmother reading that book to me when I was younger. She's gone now, but the book holds such a special place in my heart. Thank you for the nostalgic smile!
What a clever interpretation of the theme! Nice color on the shots, too!
