Thursday's Tale: My Wednesday in the Park (with Lola, Parker, and Elliot)



Lola, the dog featured in the images atop this entry is someone you might recognize, dear reader, if you follow one of my PY Facebook Page. I featured pictures of her in an entry which I posted this past July.

I've seen her on a number of occasions since that time, and yesterday, I was honored to  be invited to spend part of my afternoon with her, as well as her good friend, Parker.

He can be seen in the next set of pictures.





Parker is also someone you might recognize, if you follow my author Facebook Page for TLLG; for I featured him in an entry there this past September.

In any event, Lola and Parker belong to Elliot Katz (or he belongs to them); and yesterday I met all three of them in Central Park, where the pictures of Lola and Parker that are included in this entry were taken.

The occasion for my hooking up with them was to show Elliot the hard-cover version of Cam's book, Words In Our Beak Volume One.

AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD (INCLUDING AMAZON)

We walked to The Ramble and The Lake  and Lola played by the creek while Elliot busied himself by reading the Words In Our Beak Volume One (as seen below).

Parker stretched out alongside Elliot; as evidenced in the next set of photos.

However, Parker soon became interested in what Elliot was reading and he insisted that Elliot read to him, a sight that caused yours truly, and quite a number of those passing by, to grab the chance for photo-ops.

Mine can be seen below.



Parker wasn't the only creature who expressed interest in what Elliot was reading. A female cardinal began to observe Elliot (as evidenced below), she seemed to sense that her bird type wrote the book!




Hopefully these Central park cardinals will do some tweeting about Words In Our Beak Volume One!

ADDENDUM FALL 2018: 

The digital versions of volume One within the Words In Our Beak book series that are mentioned in this entry may only remain available for a limited time, but hardcover versions of volume One, two and three can now be found wherever books are sold.


MY BOOK SERIES

Please click here to go to my blog post that provides details as to where you can get these books. Additionally, I have rendered some images from these books into other formats and they are available via Fine Art America (FAA). Some of my other photographs (Black & White CollectionKaleidoscopic Images and the famous Mandarin duck who visited NYC) can also be found on my FAA pages.

ADDENDUM SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER 2021:

When the third volume of the hard-cover version of Words In Our Beak was released, I withdrew from promoting my former versions of Words In Our Beak. 

The very first one is an iBook and went into Apple's book store in 2015.


This was followed by an ePub version...


... that is available on Amazon and was also published in 2015.

Subsequently, Words In Our Beak's digital versions were published as a soft-cover book (with slight variations) by MagCloud in 2017.


Its press release can be read by clicking here.  

Now with the release of BIRD TALES....


... I've been advised to make mention of my early versions of volume one of Words In Our Beak, they do vary ever so slightly in content from the hard-cover version of volume one.

As of this addendum, I do not intend to create digital or soft-cover versions of Words In Our Beak Volume Two or Words In Our Beak Volume Three.
