The other night, we were having a spectacular cloud-filled sunset.
We hear The Girl's door open and a voice asking, "Mother may I use your camera to get a picture of the spectacular sunset?"
Having not played "Mother May I" for years, I vaguely recalled the correct answer to be, "Yes, you may."
The Girl spent the next 20 minutes or so capturing the evening.
She captured The Bunnies, doing their thing and trying to figure out why there was a human in the yard who didn't have food for them.
Please ignore the disgusting patio. We are learning that rabbits are not very neat creatures. Which is why they're in the backyard in the first place.
As a side note, Nova, our new bunny has settled right in. She can't stand us, but at least she and Annie are no longer tearing each other apart.
The Turtles got their portraits taken as well.
Dribble is such a people turtle. He loves us all and comes to hang out with us whenever he can.
Annie decides to catch some dinner while The Girl keeps Nova in hiding. Yes, she now sits in the tub of food to prevent Nova from sneaking bites of the good stuff. I've really come to love this Evil Bunny.
And the piece de resistance. We call it Hummingbird.
The Girl has talents that are only starting to show themselves.
Couldn't be more proud.
Your place is a zoo like mine! What other critters do you have?
Dear The Girl, your mother is justifiably proud. Those pictures are wonderful. That last one deserves to be entered in a photography competition.
