Go ahead take their pictures: Kristin visits my animals

The digital camera in the hands of young pre-teen, can only mean one thing: pictures of the animals.

Kristin, pictured here, came over to to play with my animal farm yesterday, but she also had a camera, was able to take some really good pix of my pets. They loved it and they didn't want her to leave.

Sky hangs hangs down off her cage to get a better look at her visitor, while Walter and Johnson sit politely for a couple of portraits.

Sky, the blue and gold macaw, looking ecstatic about having two of her favorite things: a human friend and a camera.

Kristin, meeting Sky for the first time, was a bit nervous, but that didn't last long as Sky talked to her, making happy sounds, which is standard for Sky, and that's usually it, the kids can't stay away from her.

Sky, shows off for Kristin, giving her a good look at her blue and gold outfit she is wearing.

But Kristin likes these two monsters, the Curr's, but had to spend a bit of time waiting for the two active mongrels to finally lay it down so she could get their photo.

Yes, Walter the boxer and "buzz saw" Johnson, were behaving well for company. However, moments after this picture was taken, they were up and running through the yard barking and barking at the wind. Oh, my neighbors love it. (actually thank you to my neighbors for being kind to the mismatched, barking duo, and they love the treats.)
