Thank you!

It's especially impressive to me because a) he was out there sleeping in broad daylight (until I woke it up by sneaking closer to take pictures), and b) I wasn't the one who took the first pictures of it. I was off doing something useful like moving a car, and reesei spotted it and asked her sibs what it was. Then, she raced downstairs, grabbed the camera, changed the lens to the right one for distance shots, raced back upstairs, and leaned out the door into frigid air to take a series of pictures without windows in the way!

I'm a fortunate man.

Thank you!

Apparently he's a fairly frequent visitor to the yard, but snoozing in the open was a new one.
