Tinka was alert to the approaching steps, but it was only me with my camera.
We have a new bedspread in this rich rich burgundy color, I liked how the color reflected to Tinka’s face in these photos.

A hug
Here I still am, sitting at my computer even though I am thinking that I should go out. So to be very quick I am giving you a virtual feel good hug.
March 30
Today in Helsinki we saw an unusual sight in Hernesaari, a small seal was on the shore. There were lots of people gathered around it. Looking and wondering and taking lots of pictures of it. I hope this little thing is able to reunite with it’s mother (dam?) when the people are not there. I just heard that people got too close to it, even petted it, so the firefighters ended up taking it to Korkeasaari a zoo in Helsinki.
Lady Gouldian finch
I saw this lovely bird and was also able to capture it at Butterfly world in Miami
Lizard
We stopped at Old Bahia Bridge, my husband saw this lizard on the edge and I was able to lean over and take pictures.
Alligators
We got very lucky, we took a air boat ride in the everglades and in the natural habitat we spotted several alligators, one lifted its head right next to the boat and me- I kind of jumped a bit… but I was also able to spot this alligator with a baby on on it. Experience to remember.
