Did you know that animals have facial expressions too? Sure we know they can screech and growl, but they have subtle facial expressions too.
Oh goodie! More sunflower seeds!Oh, yech! Not so goodie! Stale sunflower seeds.Nothing to do but try again. Maybe it was just the one …. I hope.YES! It must have been just one bad one.
I don’t so much mind that it’s seeds once again,
But really, they shouldn’t taste bad.
The taste lingered on though I spat out in vain,
The worst seed I ever have had.
I looked for an alternate food I could eat,
But nothing there was to be had,
And since I am fussy, just veggies, no meat,
My choice was depressingly sad.
I tried to remember advice from my mother
What was it she always would say?
Don’t give up with one, she’d say, just try another
You may see ‘subtle facial expressions’ but I saw nothing! Which is why you’re my editor. I rely on your eye.
I was visiting my sister who lives in rural Indiana, on the edge of a forest. We often saw squirrels romping through her yard and trees. I yelled for Lincoln but I don’t think he was there.
Really? You don’t see the disappointment in photo #2? The eager-to-try-again mouth open in photo #3? The satisfied smile in photo#4? Oh well, you can definitely rely on my eye for your editing. I love doing it and enjoy working with you. You might have seen Lincoln’s relatives in Indiana, but this Lincoln in the photos doesn’t go far from home (as long as I keep the sunflower seeds coming)!
Gee, it’s great to be needed, haha. BTW, the Captain finished Quest for Home and loved it. I have Against All Odds on the Kindle ready for him after he comes up for air.

Lincoln has obviously developed a very refined palate. Love the facial expressions.

The new camera picks up on detail more than the other camera did.

Thank you for the Lincoln update. I love seeing your pictures of him. He looks very healthy and happy (except for the yucky seed). 🙂

It’s funny to see these facial expressions on him. I had no idea they were such expressive little fellows.

How sweet he is! Yes, I know that animal can make different faces. All my dogs could smile and look sad, so did our tomcat.
