Delightful capture, Al - Thanks much for the smile it gave me this morning.
We had a fine time in your neck of the woods visiting the "kids", but the return trip last Tuesday was a nightmare, owing to Southwest's massive computer break down. We did make it home shortly before midnight after wearing our masks for over 14 hours straight in planes and airports - something I hope we don't have to do again!
People sometimes can do "strange" things with their pets.
Recently I saw a guy "walking" his canarian. The bird didn't fly, but walked or jumped toward him as he called for it.
I didn't have my camera with me :-(
