An Overdue Photoshoot with Tiger

“We need to talk, Sue.” “Sure, Tiger. I always have time for you.” “Do you, Sue? Sometimes I wonder. How many pictures have you posted of Benji this year?” “Oh, I don’t know Tiger. A few I guess.” “More than a few,” he replied.… Continue Reading “An Overdue Photoshoot with Tiger”

Watching the Hummingbirds with Benji

I heard the birds in the trees overhead and pulled up a chair to watch. Benji joined me on my lap. An Anna’s Hummingbird perched high above – perhaps he watched me too. I moved to the shed to hide from view and Benji… Continue Reading “Watching the Hummingbirds with Benji”
