"I told that dead Steller’s Jay when it was going to rain,
and I didn’t want it to rain on him, so I moved him up by the house where he
would be warm, and I put him up on that box so we wouldn’t step on him and make
him deader.
"And that dead Steller’s Jay just dozed by the house in the sun, and
I made him a cozy place and I’m going to put him down for a nap. And I’m being
really quiet so he can rest. And I have to be with that Steller’s Jay if he’s
all alone. And when I come in Squeaky can be out there by him so he won’t be sad or cry
because no one is with him.
"And I know why he is dead! Because he wasn’t
eating. Or... maybe I shot him with my gun!"

This catches at my heart! It seems that at this point the child still has tenderness toward God's creatures and a gravity about death.
What a darling photo series ... and now she's almost 2! Amazing how time flies.
