PrettyTiny Film Company Pic-A-Week **2022** (#52, Dec. 29)

[Alliecat]

Thank you fishy!  I'm glad to hear you're seeing lots of butterflies -- and Eden-worthy flowers sound lovely.

davidd, hope your drought relents.  My hummers are gone, I guess.  I'm always so delighted to see them in May, and so sad to realize they've disappeared in September   
I can't believe a whole summer went by and I didn't try to get a pic of Victoria in her red outfit with one of them -- I'd hoped to pose her and wait to see if any approached.  Just one more thing I didn't get done through my dysfunctional days. 

One fun unphotographable thing happened with my hummers though: I released 14 Monarchs one day -- 9 from that day plus a rain backlog -- and 3 or 4 of them drew much attention from the hummingbirds.  3 hummers zoomed around the butterflies on their maiden flights, followed them to the trees and hovered nearby -- clearly checking them out.  I thought that was such an amazingly cool moment.

Mini Alice is really hard to find, and sometimes mini prices, for any of them, are ridiculous.

Here's another Dal House poetry entry.



It's cloudy, damp and cool today,
We wanted to go out and play
But sitting on the backyard deck --
Summer's gone... what the heck?
We weren't ready, now it's done
We haven't yet had all our fun!
Keep your sweaters and pumpkin spice.
We think summer heat is nice.
Months of cold now lie ahead
And soon the flowers will be dead.
It always makes us shed a tear;
We really hate this time of year.
