Camera Critters #259

Hi, my name is McKinley, my friends call me Mac.  I am a Siberian Husky who is 12 weeks old.  I have deep blue eyes which make me a handsome pooch.  Some of my friends, like Jo (aka Poetic Shutterbug) call me a hottie.  I'm not sure what that means but I am guessing it is a good thing.
My favorite hobbies are playing, chewing things and watching the San Francisco 49ers and the San Francisco Giants.  I am always open to free tickets.
I want to thank my Mommy and Daddy for taking such good care of me.  And, I want to wish all of you a great weekend.  More to come when Poetic Shutterbug feels like typing for me. xoxo

Those words will become meaningful as you meld them together with your ideas during daylight hours.

The following quote by poet Lucille Clifton most adequately describes poetry in its most raw form.

“I think that we’re beginning to remember th…
