Hi. It's me, Horace. From behind the rock.
The surfers were out again today. I watched them for three hours. I think the trick is the standing up part.
More soon.
Your friend (I hope),
Horace
He's very shy. Try not to stare.
Meet Horace.
Horace is big, orange and fuzzy, and he's very shy. He's also a little awkward. He lives behind Haystack Rock, and what he wants more than anything is to make some friends.
He loves ocean sports. So far he loves them from behind a rock. Right now he's watching those two surfers very closely, and he has a plan. First he's going to figure out how a surfboard works. Then, when nobody's looking, he's going to sneak out and borrow one.
If he gets the hang of surfing, he has a list. Boogie boarding is next. Then parasailing.
Behind the rock
Watch Horace show up.
Kendra painted Horace into Joe's photo of Haystack Rock, one stroke at a time. He's very shy, so it took a while.
26 seconds. Sound on if you like.
