Map Day is always so exciting! AZ is lovely like her Mom, I agree Pat. I hope she stays around, maybe crossing paths with Camelia again.
Nice photograph Jeremy!!
Aww Azalea! Does anyone know, are those dark feathers around her face because she hasn’t reached full maturity? Thank You Jeremy and Reese!
