(Forgive me for the poor footage…I am obviously not a videographer.)

He may have had the last word but he sure as hell didn’t leave the last impression.

This post is unlike any previous entries in attempt to share not only my eye but also my heart.

Onward Anteaters!

Lucky is not a fan of erratic states, for example, the unexpected downpour of rain after a slew of beautiful Cali sun.  Thus the glum face.
