You can probably imagine how delighted I was to discover that the teeny people who had been visiting me at home in Ithaca, New York seem to have followed me here to Palo Alto, California. That's no small journey, I'll tell you! I laughed out loud this afternoon as I sat with a cool, refreshing drink, thinking about gregarious and humble examples of people to draw, and then incidentally caught sight of this little fellow hovering still among the bubbles. It was clever of him to attempt to camouflage his bubble sounds in a bubble drink, but his red divers suit stood out against that green lime, catching my eye. He waved one time before he made his final tour of the glass, pulled himself atop an ice cube, and then effortlessly hopped over the rim, dropping with amphibian dexterity to the table below. I told him I didn't mind if he wanted to stay and dive some more. He said due to having been spotted, the thrill was gone...for now.
