Six Word Photo Story Summer Challenge (August Dare)

“You can’t get away from me.”

Most days, you will find Mr. Percy in our sunroom, where the temps hover in the 80s and 90s during the summer months. In the afternoon sun, Mr. Percy inches towards the strips of sunshine, keeping his paws on it at all times.
