felony cute 

Felony Cute is an expression I coined meaning so unbearably and overwhelmingly cute that it should be a crime for a dog or cat to have that much power over us. I mean, you know, making us get a goofy grin on our face, get weak in the knees, and talk baby talk.
The little Golden Retriever puppy was not just cute; I mean after all, they all are. He was *felony cute* making me have a big goofy grin, weakening my knees, and forcing a stream of baby talk from my mouth. It should be a serious crime, perhaps even a felony, for a cute puppy to render me helpless.

A photo taken through raindrops or a downpour of rain on glass (usually a vehicle window, but could be a household window or shower door). Often I would see a pretty scene, and the only way to try the shot would be through the rained on windshield of my truck. I got some very unique and painterly looking images. The rain would never fall exactly in that amount, speed or direction in between me and that scene ever again. Instead of cursing the rain for ruining my desired shot, I came to enjoy the effect. Many of my photos taken through rain on glass looked like paintings, but they weren't. I coined the word rainting.
It was far from an ordinary looking photo with its flowing look, but it was straight out of the camera. She photographed the rain on her windshield as it was actively painting the pink cherry trees on the Court House Lawn beyond. The look was so artistic, shiny and fluid that is was as if the rain were doing a painting of the scene; a rainting was born. She merely photographed it.

SIC & SNIC

SIC is Solarized in Camera and Refers to a choice that could only be made in a Sony Mavica Camera.

SNIC is Solarized Not in Camera and Refers not to any specific camera at all, but to using a photo processing/enhancing program that has a choice of a solarized.

SIC & SNIC both refer to Solarization but the results on the images are entirely different.
Since they both used the word solarized, I was surprised how completely different my photo results with SIC were from SNIC
