I think many believe that the word monochromatic is synonymous with black and white, but it ain’t necessarily so. Simply put, a monochromatic shot involves the predominance of one color, and it can sometimes include an additional color for emphasis.
Here’s a mostly monochromatic shot of my beautiful boy Cielo sharing his gorgeous aqua blue eyes. His breed (Tonkinese) is the only feline variety that displays these aqua eyes. To learn more about the Weekly Photo Challenge – click here.
What a beautiful cat. He totally owns that blanket. 🙂

He’s such a pretty boy…why isn’t he doing TV commercials for some high-end cat food?

Thanks, Mary. I know! Cielo could certainly wow the cameras. He’s actually got a “That Darned Cat” kindof personality too. Maybe we could convince Disney to do a remake and make him the star!

A bit late … but at least present … and the name of the feline posing for the wonderful pic?

His name is Cielo, which in Spanish means Sky or Heaven. We decided to name him for the former (for his beautiful eyes), but his personality manifested the latter…

Being a cat person, you would love him, Shimon, and he you. He has a wonderful personality – very affectionate and playful. He’s one of those rare cats that fetches and he loves to bring toys to us to throw for him. We call him a “dog-cat!”
