Shy.  Elusive.  More often heard than seen.  I got to see one a little.

Under a boardwalk.

Barely ankle deep.

In the house, oddly enough…

Big head.  Sticky feet, so he can walk on walls and ceilings.  It was hard to get him picked up.  Had to chase him all over the floor.  Once I got him onto my hand though, he was quite comfortable, and in no hurry to give it up.

This is the day.  7 years ago.  We thought we were leaving Colorado after a visit with our kids there, but I ended up in the hospital getting open heart bypass surgery instead.  A fortunate moment in medical time.  I got the help that was not available to our father’s generation.

A quiet celebration for Judy and me, cherishing our time together.
