Pose Series: Part 5

Contorted Eagle

Now this position is ideal for sleeping and seeking belly rubs. Mom says Meg has scoliosis and that's why she lays in weird positions such as the contorted eagle. Not only does this pose show off the bod but it also conveys how limber you are, which will probably only serve for someone to toss you over their shoulder.

To achieve the contorted eagle, one should start out by rolling onto the back. Drop your feet outward to the ground or to one side. Then start wriggling the upper torso and yank the head to one side. There you have it!

Killer Shadowplay

So Meg and I like to sit out on the porch and watch the birds and etc. which is pretty cool. Every now and then we try to jump at them via the porch railing but have yet to be successful.

Well after two years of just looking and failing to catch any birdies, I've gotten kind of bored. That's why I came up with a new form of birdwatching. I first employed this inside. In the morning the sun shines through the back door and onto the wall where the couch is. So I would run after the bird shadows on the wall by jumping on the couch. Cool, huh?

I've amped it up one notch. I now sit with my back to the actual birds while batting at their shadows on this chair. The shadows you see in the picture are from plants, not birds, but that only adds to the challenge of recognizing what is aflutter and what is just swaying in the breeze.

You should try this. It's really fun. Meg doesn't get it though. Too complex of a subject I guess.
