Ida vs. Olympus in its last days vs. Budgie

Ida got a new blue horse named Budgie that she likes to ride around. I tried to take a picture of her riding him, but the ten second delay of our shutter was too much. Like a crow, Ida loves all shiny things like ipods, cell phones, and the camera. She was off Budgie in a flash and reaching for the camera:



Subsequent attempts looked like this



and this



and, cheesily, like this



Finally her Mom distracted her with the phone. Here's Ida riding Budgie:



This may be the last post from the old camera.

I, too, am attracted to all things glittery and shiny. Like Ella.

Portland crows have expensive tastes: iPods, cell phones, digital cameras. Down here in Georgia crows and babies must make do with gum wrappers, video arcade tokens, and tarnished dreams.

Re a new camera, might I suggest this?

Dear Ida,
Ride 'em cowgirl!
Though I daresay that in a few years it won't be appropriate to do your Budgie-wrangling with no shirt on.
Just a tip, from someone who's been there.
Love, Claire
