How It Really Went

Greetings to all! It's me, Mags. Did all of you see Cam's post yesterday about our backyard photo shoot? It didn't go EXACTLY like she said. I mean, if her version is to be believed, it's like I was the instigator! Today I will present photo evidence to refute all of that! Most of that. Some of that.

Anyway ...

There we were, posing on the retaining wall ...

"No, Cam. I don't see anything over there."
"I thought I saw an intruder or something."

See where I'm going with this?

"I'm trying to be good over here, Cam."
"Me, too.  Just protecting Ao4 Headquarters.  Hey, what's that down there?"

Before Cam could investigate, Mom decided we should move down a level and pose by the sedums.  I was all set, when ...

"How's this, M--Cam!  What are you doing?"
"I need to get closer to Mom.  She might need me."

See that?!!?  See how perfect I was?!?!  REALLY!

"Stop, Cam!  Mom's not done!"
"Maybe she'd like some action shots!"

Just trying to help - right?!?

"Get back over here!"
"Urmph!!!!"

Here are a couple of those action shots Cam mentioned:

It must have been what Mom wanted, since she was still taking pictures and all.

And that's what really happened.  Just us, being really helpful.  And I was not the instigator.  So if any of you out there reading (perhaps especially you, Santa) had any doubts whatsoever, I was being good.  And so was Cam.  Really!

Yours sincerely,
