  17. Love this series, Jane. It reminded me of a scene I wished I had captured 15+ years ago. I lived in an apartment atop Twin Peaks in SF, and had a window that I would leave open a crack, just for a little fresh air for my cat, Peaches. She would sit and wait for me to come home. As I approached the door, Peaches would stick her paw out and move it up and down, like she was waving to me. All I could see was her paw sticking out of the building. The movement is similar to those cat figures that you see all over Chinatown. It was such a comfort then, and thinking about it now brings me such joy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane! xo
