If I didn't know better I'd think that the fame is getting to her head! Almost every morning this week it's the same: As i walk down to the lime tree she calls home she emerges, perching on the edge of the tallest branch, on a leaf that is right at head height, watching me approach like the great lumbering oaf that I am.
Since keeping my phone steady is so difficult at the levels of zoom she requires, (my heartbeat shakes the picture substantially) I have taken to placing her on a wooden garden seat nearby for our photoshoots. Rather than resent this and scurry away immediately as I had originally suspected she would do, instead she starts with the bum wiggle almost immediately when j approach, leaping off of her leaf and onto my hand the moment i extend it out towards her.
From there we move to the garden bench, where I can rest the phone on thr stable surface and get a steady shot for you guys. Once i'm all set up, I swear violet seems to show off for the camera - i tried watching her without it once, and she just stood there unimpressed before strolling off; nary a spin nor twirl in sight 💜
