The mouse princeling waves to his subjects

Thanksgiving

The mice are giving thanks for their roast walnut feast and I am giving thanks for my family, friends and followers.

Happy Holidays!

Behind the scenes

Here we are, shooting the photographs for "The House that Mouse Built". Bruce has an astounding set-up, and I got quite an education watching him light the scenes. I'm making yet another mouse micro-adjustment here while Bruce does his deep-breathing exercises (not really, he was incredibly patient, even when my dogs were sitting on his feet).

My sister gave me this beautiful cup and saucer for my birthday, and as you can see, we are getting a lot of use out of it. Thank you, Susy!
