While gathering photos for upcoming presentations, I ran across this shot I took last spring.  I was taking pictures of the beautiful blooms in my front yard and happened upon this conversation between a baby wren and its mom.

The scene’s all-too-familiar, isn’t it?  Got several photos in the sequence of their discussion, but this one really spoke to me. Is it a mom thing?  It obviously is NOT just a human thing! I decided to enter it into a photography contest.  When I posted it to my Facebook author page with the caption I’d given it – “Can you hear me now?” – I started getting even BETTER captions from y’all, so I’ve decided to make it a contest (thanks for the suggestion, Gail!) to win a copy of my new book out in two weeks, BLOOMIN’ TALES.  So head over to my FB author page and give it your own caption, or just comment on this post with one.  I’ll have an unbiased judge…. or at least a LESS biased judge…. pick a winner.

Hope you’ll come see me if you are in the Little Rock area next Saturday.  It looks like the Arkansas Literary Festival has a GREAT line-up of speakers and I’m hoping to catch up with some of the authors in town for the event. c:
