Photo Hunt - Wide
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is wide. I've put this photo up before (not in PH though) but it is the shot that fits the bill best without resorting to a stretch... I'll leave the stretch to Mimi's mouth instead
I can't believe you actually took this photo. Is she bored or begging for food like a bird in the nest? Great photo Jams. Have a good weekend and great Christmas.
Oh my goodness,..... I have never seen such a wide mouth,..lol. Great photo and Merry Christmas. IF A FAT GUY GRABS YOU AND PUTS YOU IN A BAG, DON'T WORRY, I TOLD SANTA I WANTED A GOOD FRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS!
Mimi sure does epitomize the concept of "endless possibilities"! :-)
I saw your post before I did mine, so I went a completely different direction. Between the holidays and commitments and work, I'm afraid I've gone a little dark and quirky this week...

Happy Holidays! (Not that it has anything to do with my PH post...)
What a wonderfully wide mouth, indeed! I can't believe that I didn't think about a cat yawn when I have so many pictures of my cats! I did feature my daughter's cat today as she is a very wide 20 pound cat!
That certainly is wide, looks like a tooth inspection at the dentist!
ReplyDeleteNow this is a fantastic capture. Like a study in anatomy :)
ReplyDeleteOpened really wide, can follow instructions eh?
Happy weekend.
Oh my stars, look at that. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's the widest shot I've seen this morning. :)
Merry Christmas Jams and have a great weekend. :)

I was expecting a cute, fuzzy animal, not the hound of the Baskervilles.

Awesome photo for the theme! just wide open as though she understood the "instruction". LOL
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't go near her mouth though, with teeth like that? Yay! A bite could hurt!
Definitely a stretch for the kitty! But certainly fitting for the theme.
ReplyDeleteshe's fierce!
Look at those teeth! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
~*~
One word: perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot for the theme. I am always amazed at how wide kitties can open their mouths. She's such a pretty cat, too.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that wide mouth put a big grin on my face. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteWishing you merry Christmas!
Thanks everyone
ReplyDeleteNice Shot!! That's so wide!! haha

Great one! How fierce they look when you shoot their yawn out of "context", eh?
ReplyDeleteWish you and yours a happy Christmas!
Somebody's practicing mouth opening maneuvers in preparation of a kitty dentist visit!
ReplyDeleteHaha EWBl I would pity the poor dentist who had a look at Mimi, she can be massively stubborn!
