Our beloved Gracie, the first of our beagle fur children, used to do a trick where she balanced a treat on her nose to the command, “Focus, focus, focus.” She was only released to eat the delicious morsel one of us spoke the command, “Eat it up!” There were so many reasons that she was known as “Gracie, the wonder dog.”

Last year, at this time in #pandemiclife I needed the camera see for me. I could sense the world around me but I couldn’t focus at all. The camera focused for me. This morning, I find myself complaining that the camera simply can’t capture all that I can see. I guess #pandemicpractice is working.
