Photo Hunters: Lazy

Photo Hunter

This was probably the most difficult topic I have ever encountered at Photo Hunters. It left me stumped! I finally decidied to go with a few photos, but with the majority of them, you might think the topic was “cats” or something! I have a lot of photos of cats sleeping and lazing around!

Here’s a photo we took of the lions at the Rosamond-Gifford Zoo in Syracuse. I was hoping to see them pacing and prowling and growling, but all they did was LAY THERE. What boring lions! You can read more about our visit to the zoo here.

Cat Naps

This is a photo of our cat, Fuzzy. HE is LAZY. He also has this “lion complex” where he sometimes growls and prowls. But he doesn’t scare us. We know he’s just a big ol’ scaredy cat inside.

Lazy Fuzzy

My new kitten, Livvy, wants to follow in the footsteps of her cat cousins. When she is tired, she just plops down and snores. Isn’t she adorable, though?

Conked Out

And just so you don’t think I’m totally biased, here’s our dog, Lazy. I mean, DAISY. Well, actually, she’s both. She wouldn’t even lift her head for the photo!

Daisy

Finally, plants can be lazy, too. Just look at this English Ivy. LAZY LAZY LAZY! I’ve been coaxing it for years to cllimb up the arbor trellis like the other ivys, but noooo… it crawls around on the ground. Oh well.

How did your Photo Hunt go today?

    Those are some really great photos! Livvy looks so cute and fuzzy; I like how her furs are standing straight up.

  2. Chica & Pumuckl on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 6:13 am 

    Those are some great entries for today’s Photo Hunt! We like the photo of Fuzzy.. he looks so comfortable! Have a great weekend all of you!

    perhaps if you try singing to the ivy, it’ll get moving:)

  4. eastcoastlife on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:20 am 

    Livvy has such lovely fur. Both your pets are too cute.
    Happy weekend!

    *Y-a-w-n* All those sleeping “kitties” (and doggie) made me sleepy! LOL! Great photos. I did one of our dog, talk about lazy!

    Here’s mine

  6. PastormacsAnn on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:36 am 

    Oh yes, cats take lazy to a new level of lazy. And you last photo made me smile – I’ve never thought of a plant as lazy but you right – the least it could do is grow up where you want it. ;-)

    Nice job on The Hunt. Happy Weekend.

  7. Enigma on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:53 am 

    Wonderful contributions to the theme this week! I might disagree on the English Ivy, though. I’ve got the #&%*2 stuff growing up the side of my house. When its not lazy…its aggressive! Have a great weekend!

  8. A. on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:55 am 

    Cats have raised laziness to an art form! I love the way kittens seem to fall unconscious – nothing would waken them :)

  9. Teena in Toronto on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:56 am 

    Those kitties are just too cute!

    I played too :)

  10. Gattina on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:57 am 

    I think you misunderstand them, they are not lazy they are strongly meditating about something very important, lol !

  11. Matt on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:58 am 

    My brother is a bit like your cat Livvy, he’ll pass out anywhere.

    Thanks for stopping by mine.

  12. YTSL on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:02 am 

    For someone who claims to have been stumped for a time by this week’s Photo Hunt theme, you sure came up with a lot of photos for it at the end! ;b

  13. Patsy on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:08 am 

    Big cats and house cats — both varieties seem equally lazy. :) Great choice of photos. I found this week difficult also.

    Enjoy the weekend.

  14. Shinade on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:09 am 

    Oh I think you did a terrific job. And Livvy is so adorable. I am getting a new kitty hopefully in a few weeks and I am sure everyone will get tired of seeing him.

    I found this one hard also. I thought it would be easy. But my oh my so many of you were so creative.

    Great entry and I always love visiting here!!:-)

  15. Gypsy at Heart on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:16 am 

    I wonder if those lions would be so lazy in the wild. Have we just spoiled them? Since our house cats are lazy, maybe it is just a feline trait…..

    I concluded a long time ago that your pet’s job is to take a nap.

  17. ancient one on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:35 am 

    Okay… now let me warn you about Ivy… it will fool you and just laze around, but when it decides to move… look out… we cannot get rid of the stuff around here.. and to think it started out in a cute little planter I bought.. then moved to a larger planter… finally put just a little piece in the ground to grow up a post .. (which it did… then it ran up the tree and over the azaela bushes and on and on…. You have a bunch of lazy pictures… Good Picks for today’s theme!

  18. Dragonstar on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:36 am 

    Oh what a lovely lazy post! Cats do LAZY better than anything I know, and I agree that plants can be lazy too – I have a rosemary bush in my ‘herb garden’ that will not grow like a proper shrub and just lies around lazily like a ground-cover plant!

  19. Mar on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:38 am 

    Awww, cute shots. Now pls excuse me , I need a nap :)

  20. Aileni Noyle on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:40 am 

    Oh dear, I think I must have a lie down.

  21. Janet on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:45 am 

    ahhhh such cute lazy kitties!

  22. I Digress on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:47 am 

    Your cats are adorable! I love cats! They sure can get lazy when they want to, huh?

    Thanks for dropping by my site! Happy weekend!

  23. jams O'Donnell on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:50 am 

    Be it a lion or a moggy it’s wonderful how all cats are masters of laziness! I know what you mean about ivy too! Happy weekend

  24. Digital Polaroids on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:52 am 

    Excellent naps!

  25. Cathi on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:21 pm 

    Great lazy photos! Thanks for visiting mine too.

  26. Leesa on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:33 pm 

    Very cute.. cats are the lazy idea today :)

  27. Alice Audrey on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:35 pm 

    What a lazy pride.

  28. Gretchen on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:35 pm 

    No matter what their size, cats are truly the kings of lazy!

  29. Just Jinny on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:38 pm 

    Lazy Daisy..ha ha, so cute. And I could just snuggle that kitten to death. I miss my cats being kittens..sigh.

  30. Chronicles of Mommy on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:38 pm 

    I like the cat

  31. Staci on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 12:46 pm 

    What wonderful photos! The new kitten is precious.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

  32. toni on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:00 pm 

    Love your lazy animals! I’ve had them, too – cats and dogs. I can even relate to the plant – I have a clematis that will not climb for anything!

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting on mine.

    toni

  33. marta on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:03 pm 

    Definitely some lazy animals.

  34. Kat on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:03 pm 

    Adorable cats! They really know how to relax.

  35. Hummie on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:09 pm 

    Lots of people doing cats! Hmmmm…that must mean something…they really are lazy!

  36. Mandy on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:15 pm 

    Great pics for today! I’m off to read about your zoo day! :)

  37. Marie on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:16 pm 

    Animals always make looking lazy wonderful, don’t they?

  38. Gandalf and Grayson on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:18 pm 

    Fuzzy and Livvy are naturals at being lazy! In our house, we can never get enough lazy!

  39. philos on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:18 pm 

    Wow! Excellent set of photos! Perfect for the theme :)

  40. Tammy on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:33 pm 

    Yeah, I’d say a bunch of laziness going on! Great pics, perfect for this weeks theme!

  41. Mrs. Mecomber on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:34 pm 

    Thanks for all your comments!! Yeah, once I got going, I guess I found a whole lot of photos.

    Today has not been a lazy day for me. I have visited every person (so far) who has participated in PH and left their link at TNChick’s site– that’s 187 blogs!!

    Time for a nap…

  42. YummY! on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:35 pm 

    Sleeping kitties are THE picuture of lazy. I don’t know how they sleep SOOOO much.

    Id’ never thought of plants being lazy, but I guess the ones that lay down all the time are. Hmmm…does that mean that climbing vines are super industrious? -smile-

    Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment on my photo hunt.

  43. Randi on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:35 pm 

    Great sequence of shots.
    The lazy cats are so cute!

  44. storyteller on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 1:57 pm 

    Yup … I had trouble with this one too until I thought of ‘critter’ photos while creating my Camera Critters post this morning … so I did a ‘double-duty’ post at Small Reflections rather than sharing at Sacred Ruminations as I usually do. I LOVE the wonderful ‘lazy’ photos you’ve shared here today because they each made me smile big time!
    Hugs and blessings,

  45. Carver on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 2:07 pm 

    I enjoyed your sequence of shots for lazy. I had to laugh about the lazy ivy staying on the ground instead of climbing.

  46. Conniesue on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 2:13 pm 

    Nice pictures I liked the big cats but you little one is pretty sweet too. Happy Saturday & thanks for visiting me.

  47. expatraveler on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 2:28 pm 

    Oh that kitten is so cute! I love that one the most…

  48. Aloha Monkey on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 2:32 pm 

    Those are great photos. I almost posted a photo of my younger son taking a snooze in the middle of the day.

  49. Annie on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 2:35 pm 

    I love all these photos but that lazy kitten – too cute!

    Thanks for visiting mine and have a wonderful lazy weekend!

  50. Baker Watson on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 2:47 pm 

    Those big cats can lay around all day it seems. I think the little ones lay around and dream about being one of the big ones.

    Nice take on the theme.

  51. petrus on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 3:06 pm

  52. ellen b on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 3:09 pm 

    You have some fabulous lazy animals here and you are cracking up with your lazy ivy!

  53. Kuanyin on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 3:25 pm

  60. Betty on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 4:40 pm 

    You sure did a good job with today’s theme of lazy. You came up with some good examples of animals and plants being plain ole lazy.

    Thank you for visiting me. I appreciate it and hope you will come back often.

  61. girasoli on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 6:11 pm 

    Cats are the king and queen of lazy. They do it so well. Great photos! I love the combination of animals and plants. Great choices for this week’s theme.

  62. Leslie on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 7:20 pm 

    Your cats are gorgeous! I bet you enjoy their company. :) Lovely photos you have posted this week. :)

  63. RJ Flamingo on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 7:28 pm 

    What a great series for the theme! Love your kitties – I need a kitten, uh, that is, JJ needs a playmate! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

  64. bintang4 on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 7:32 pm 

    Nice one with the English Ivy.
    I don’t know that plants can be lazy too…

    P/s: thanks for dropping by my Photohunt earlier ;)

  65. Deborah on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 7:47 pm

  68. Brine Queen on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 9:00 pm 

    Cats sure are lazy. But daisy has the lazy look going too.

  69. SophieMae on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 9:05 pm 

    They’re adorable! I think cats are the masters of lazy.

  70. Jerry on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 9:30 pm 

    Clearly cats of all types and breeds are lazy creatures!

  71. Napaboaniya APAD on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 9:40 pm 

    Cats or lions, I guess they’re all the same in characteristics since they belong to the same cat family :P
    Happy weekend!!

  72. Momisodes on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 9:47 pm 

    Such sweet photos :) wish I was sleeping and relaxing like that now!

  73. inyang on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 9:47 pm 

    great photos you have there, mrs mecomber!

  74. bingskee on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 10:44 pm 

    fuzzy and livvy are very lovely cats. laughed very hard at daisy! truly the dog depicted the theme!

  75. Lissa (Forever Foster) on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:22 pm 

    Livvy, Fuzzy and Daisy all look so precious! Livvy is beautiful. She looks like she’s going to be a fluffy girl when she gets her grown up furs in. I liked the inclusion of the ivy- it was clever:)

  76. A Grateful Heart on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:55 pm 

    cool! perfect shots for the theme:) i really liked your cats pictures! sooooo cute!

  77. BlogNow101 on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:56 pm 

    soooo adorable pictures of the animals:) happy weekend!

  78. mama meji on Sat, 11th Oct 2008 11:59 pm 

    Great photos. That last shot looks lovely- can you believe I think it’s lovely even if it’s too lazy to grow up on a trellis? :-) . But yes I do. The green looks good!

  79. little light on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 12:15 am 

    my photohunt entry for today is a photo of a big cat, too! mine was a white tiger, though, and he was in action.

  80. Ida on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 12:36 am 

    Great pics. Visit my page to see my idea of lazy…

  81. Kimo & Sabi on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 12:39 am 

    It’s a legitimate hobby!

  82. jam on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 12:47 am 

    Nice shot! I love your cats and dog, haha!

  83. Lux on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 1:42 am 

    Those are good examples for lazy! :)

  84. Laura (Oraeley) on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 2:45 am 

    Nice–napping pets!
    And what a beautiful green world you have there! It’s the same here in WA, just so great. :)

  89. Irene on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 11:29 am 

    I was thinking of posting a cat photo too but the photo turned out blur.

  90. Jientje on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 1:30 pm 

    They’re all very adorable!!

  91. SabineM on Sun, 12th Oct 2008 1:42 pm 

    sometimes I wish I were a cat

  92. tanabata on Mon, 13th Oct 2008 6:50 am 

    Those are great choices for the theme. And your cats are both adorable! I’d love to just zonk out like that! :)

  95. akaGaGa on Tue, 14th Oct 2008 7:58 pm 

    Okay, the lazy ivy has got to win the “most creative” award. Who knew?

  96. 7thstranger on Wed, 15th Oct 2008 1:10 am 

    lots of pretty lazy animals, huh? nice photos.
    thanks for droppin’ by! :D

  97. eam on Thu, 16th Oct 2008 2:50 am 

    oohh boy, to be ‘lazy’ in the zoo, doing nothing while everything is provided for! lucky, they don’t have to hunt for their food and all…

    very nice photos of ‘lazy’! :-)

  98. ian on Thu, 16th Oct 2008 4:13 am 

    oh. what i’d give to be a lazy lion for a day… =] your pets are a hoot! love them to bits!
