"What is this?"
"Well, the new puppy has itchy teeth and he used them on the stuffed fox."
"Are we stuffed with the same material?"
"Well, yes, you are."
"What are you stuffed with?"
"Things that aren't as pretty."
"I am sorry. Maybe that is why humans get so weighted down. You really should be stuffed with clouds like us. It really is quite lifting."
"I know."

The word fluff comes from a combination of flue and puff. Like a puff of smoke coming out of a chimney flue.

This angelic and fluffy looking creature is my neighbours cat Willow who comes regularly to sit and wait for Bobcat to come out to play............. She is made of tougher stuff than Bob who doesn't like to go out if it means wet paws :D
The common eland is the slowest antelope, with a peak speed of 40 kph that tires them quickly. However, they can maintain a 22 kph trot indefinitely. Elands are capable of jumping up to 2.5 m from a standing start when startled. The common eland's life expectancy is generally between 15 and 20 years. Eland herds are accompanied by a loud clicking sound that has been subject to considerable speculation. It is believed that the weight of the animal causes the two halves of its hooves to splay apart, and the clicking is the result of the hoof snapping together when the animal raises its leg. The sound carries some distance from a herd and may be a form of communication.
This is my third type of caterpillar this summer. I've made good use of my macro lens in the Ohio woods.

A lovely little greylag goose gosling, albeit looking a bit grumpy, I think you can still see the egg tooth on the end of the beak. Last time I saw them they'd lost four of them, fingers crossed for the other two.
Fluff is a humble pattern, content to stay in the background and help other, more flashy patterns look good. I think it is very useful to draw around and behind thin curving lines, such as Quib (as shown) or Mak-Rah-Me or Mooka. (I used it behind Mooka in this tile: www.flickr.com/photos/101210107@N03/11834566833/ ). When done, it somewhat resembles Stiritup or Amaze but it is easier to draw IMO and because it grows one small section at a time it is easy to control. It also creates a nice edge.
I called it "Fluff" not just because it Looks fluffy but it is also like "fluff" in journalism - a light, easy filler. I normally try to find names for my patterns that aren't too evocative of what they they look like but I couldn't resist this little word play!
This pattern is so simple, I also think there is a good chance it's already out there somewhere - so if I have come too close to someone else's idea, let me know.
My pet lab pup got infected with Parvovirus recently and I'm wishing for his speedy recovery soon. My family lost a few pet dogs through the years and I hope this time around this little fellow will survive.

Cute creature at Greendale farm shop. Probably a llama.

Fairly heavily edited in onOne's Perfect Effects. I started by adding the sepia effect and a bit of a curves adjustment in Aperture, but everything was left looking a bit flat, and Aperture's Detail slider wasn't doing enough to help. I pushed the image into Perfect Effects, and added a tone adjustment, to make the fluff look all fluffy. The only problem was that with the local contrast and detail pushed up nice and high, the fluff was fluffy, but the background bokeh was looking quite rough and busy. So, I used the mask brush to mask out the effect layer, using the perfect brush setting to get the edges around the fluffy llama wool.
Seems to have worked quite well - lots of detail in the fur, while the background remains nice and soft.
