Tolga was practicing lighting and such with his new Canon 7D, and on a whim said, “Let’s go outside and get some pics.” So I grabbed my puppet Zucchini B. Cornbread – and outside we went. No advance planning or makeup job, just Tolga’s skill with a lense and the late afternoon sun. (I add that so as to seem naturally young and beautiful, which is not actually the case.) This is the result.

Being Silly

A calm moment

My puppets and I communicate.

…and I am listening.

She cracks me up.

By the way, Zucchini is one character in a line called “The Gingerbread Kookies.” Zucchini isn’t 100% scarecrow. She’s actually 1/2 scarecrow and half cookie. So she’s a “Scrookie.”

Zucchini has been on this quest lately to find her true ancestry so she’s been pondering exactly what kind of cookie she is made from – sugar cookie, vanilla wafer, butter cookie, lemon bar?
