AND NOW, I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT LUCAS. Lucas has been sadly missing from this blog. We aren't sure why! Normally, he is the subject of many photographs. It seems that he prefers the darkest, coolest spot in our yard. This is under a hammock on some bare dirt! I think that is why we haven't photographed him lately, but here he is in all his glory. We love the guy...big wet snout and all...he is the alpha male. (Be nice and don't notice my nemesis weed in the upper photo, lower right corner.)
