I didn’t have the good camera and the crappy camera was having trouble telling all the greens apart, so I had him climb my hand. As you can tell, he was really really thrilled.
He didn’t like this one because it makes him look fat. [...]

Posted by sterlingphoenix at 03:25:36 on May 6th, 2011 | Category: Photos | Tags: same spot, too much text, water We had a crazy amount of snow this past winter (yes, past winter. I insist!).
