Photographed at Nickerson Beach on Long Island. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a tap dance or if swallowing food with one leg up is easier. :)

Terrific interaction, Axel. Just so appealing-sweet interaction and expressions. This is one it is tempting to put works to, like "Mine"! ...Or "Eat Your Breakfast Now"...) :).

Wonderful capture and I love your description Axel!  As I am not a dancer, I'll have to see if this action helps my digestion.............  :D
