The boy can see.

Responding to excited squeals of “Daddy! Daddy! Look, look! It’s an alien” I did the only reasonable thing possible and handed our 9 year old a camera.

There’s no denying the boy has an eye. A large print of this now hangs on his bedroom wall.

Snapped at Bean Hollow beach on the way down to Monterey, where Winnie rejoiced in once again petting the sting rays at the Aquarium.
