To Flash or Not to Flash

As I'm sure I've many times told y'all, dad has the keen ability to see the wonder in everything. Okay, wait- he just left the room for a minute.  What I meant to say was he's easily amused. Sometimes he finds the simplest things interesting, and as with his fascination with black and white photos he's intrigued with lighting when it comes to what he considers his awesome photography "skills".  Anyway, I'll stop making fun of him for now since I'm waiting for him to feed me.  Here, he shows his best old girl (sorry mom, you know you're his best, but you also know he'd never refer to you as old*) with and without flash.  You know, dad, for someone who often pokes fun at mom for being distracted by shiny objects...
With Flash

You are such a cutie-pie sweet Cleo and you look fabulous!

And the flash wins! You are extra cute today Cleo - have a great week all!

I like the blog title. ;) And your dad has nice taste in music. I can't help wondering if he'd enjoy Palaye Royale (can't resist touting my favorite young band yet again - lol). Be well, beautiful!

Cleo truth be told your dad is just fascinated with EVERYTHING you do and EVERYTHING about you. I love the way your ID tag is glowing

That's a big difference! All I can see in the second photo, practically, is that bright, shiny name tag!

We are not fans of the flash,but as long as we do not get laser eyes,we guess it's OK.
We do like the flash picture of you.
You are so pretty :)
Have a fun Sunday!

We don't like that flash thing either, Cleo...but sometimes it's the only way we can get our mom to stop taking photos.

It's strange how your name tag glows without the flash! I very rarely used it, but it was definitely needed for that photo.

Interesting!

PeeEss. We're sure you meant to specify your mom is 12 *cat* years younger!

Both shots are nice, but I prefer the first. I am 15 years younger than my hubby. I like to say I am a trophy wife- but all he does is laugh :)

Sometimes the flash is just necessary! Love how your name tag pops in the second shot though.

Hmm, we are not keen on the whole flash thing, but sometimes it just has to be.
Lovely selfie with the flash, but the one without is more like how most of ours end up when Mrs H gets up at night to work, MOL

Um, I'm gonna be voting for the flash in this one, Cleo. The Human says to tell you when she was a kid, her family 'dopted a stray kitty they named Cleopatra! But once Cleo was taken to the vet for a first exam, they had to change the name to Caesar. Oops!
