Time With Charlie

8/24/2022

8 Comments

 

Happy Valley, Oregon

Charlie is finally old enough to play. I climbed into her toy cup and waited. 
Picture
Charlie didn't notice me, until Beth put the cup on her highchair tray. She seemed intrigued.

​Not So Sure

Charlie was amused, until I climbed out.
Picture
She was not a bit sure about me. 

Funny?

After she touched me, she suddenly thought I was hysterically funny. I'm not sure what to think about that.
Picture
Charlie's high pitched squeals were almost painful! She seemed delighted, but she still didn't want to touch me again.

Pocket Time

I found a good way to spend some time with Charlie, so she could get comfortable with me.
Picture
She was okay having me in her pocket, but she still wasn't sure.

Finally

​Eventually, Beth pulled me out of the pocket. Charlie reached with her hand and cautiously held me with two fingers.
Picture
With the help of her Support Panda Mei Mei in one hand, Charlie was able to enjoy my company.

I love Charlie.

Potatoes Adventure in Idaho

8/15/2022

Eye of the Potato

I've climbed in corn fields and I've climbed on tomato vines. 
Picture
I've posed with peppers and watermelon. Today I posed in the eye of a potato.

Fake Potato

​First I posed with a potato that wasn't real. It was a giant potato, at the Idaho Potato Museum.
Picture
Beth found a tiny dent and tucked me in, for a photo. She said it was a potato eye. Never heard of such a thing!
Picture
After the big photo shoot, we headed into the little cafe, inside the museum.

Lunch

Of course Beth bought a baked potato.
Picture
It didn't look very good. The bacon looked fake and the slippery blob of sour cream did not look appetizing.

Potato Picnic

Beth took the potato in the car and we drove to a rest stop.
Picture
She ate the potato all by herself.  I said, "No thanks! It's all yours!"

Climbing the Lava

Not far from the table, we found some walkways. We wandered and found some hard lava formations. The rock was once hot lava, that became solid a few thousand years ago! The rocks had lots of holes. They look more like eyes than those potato eyes.
Picture
I climbed around on the rock, thinking about lava and potatoes. I guess all the lava  has made the soil just right for potato growing!  

I have determined that I prefer rock climbing, to potato climbing.

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
