030 - Intruder alert!

Dim Sum eyes the bushy tailed intruder again and thinks that the long-eared guard is asleep on the job.

I wanted to focus on the bird on the till, but I thought it would be great to work with the streaming sunlight and shadows, and I couldn't compose that picture well, so I zoomed in instead.  The first version was a bit more glowy, so that Dim Sum was almost indiscernible.  But this is easier on the eyes.  ;)

For extra credit, find the intruder too!

And, ... 30!!!  A whole month!  Woohoo!

029 - True love

"True love isn't enough to describe you," said the cat with the blue ears.

The cat with the blue ears is not an avatar. It's a permanent resident of that bakery.

DOF and shadows!!! OMG, it's a miracle!  ;)  I think if I click the buttons very very softly, I don't crash when I turn on shadows.  Shhhh....

028 - Purple bicycle

Dim Sum sees a bushy tail slip into the window and contemplates whether to chase it or to follow the scent of fresh baked bread and milk. Hmmm....

Many thanks to Calinacase Whiteberry for recommending this sim.

This composition is a bit difficult to do DOF with because I wanted to focus to be on a very narrow strip, which is the width of the bicycle.  I didn't play much with windlight today.  The "mist" on the left side is actually caused by the position of the sun, which is a very interesting surprise.

And, of course, as I was adding it to groups and stuff, I wondered what it would look like with shadows.  And, whadyaknow, the bicycle is pink!

027 - Cat museum

Dim Sum meows at the miniature kitties, but they remain silent.

Calinacase Whiteberry recommended this sim which she found while shopping.  In fact, I saw her in front of the shape store, which was housed inside a greenhouse.  She seemed to be afk, so I moved on and found this little museum of miniature cats.

Yes, I tried to hide Dim Sum in there, but she would have been just a pixel if I left her there.  It's still a little tricky to find her here.
