Piper is the apple of my eye but looking at this photo taken by our incredible sitter staying with him while I was away, I did not see a fruit or a bird. I saw an artichoke.
With the thousands of pictures of Piper on my iPad, I thought that I had seen every angle I possibly could of Piper’s spectacular plumage. But this was definitely the first time each defined feather resembled the leaf-like structures of a thistle plant’s unopened flower bud we think of as a vegetable.
And while his outside is beautiful, like the artichoke, the best part of Piper is his heart.
