This story lives in a crepe myrtle tree that has grown up in a housing community in Destin, Florida that is heavily populated by folks from the nearby military bases. That includes a good number of handsome young soldiers and airmen – and also impressionable teen-age girls.

Here a young girl (left) is doting on a charismatic military officer (center). Looking on (right), we find Mom and Dad scowling at the situation.

The dashing officer is dressed in ornate lichen ceremonial headdress and is sporting a fancy mustache. The wide-eyed young girl has curly lichen hair. On the right, you can see Mom (bottom) and Dad (top ) strongly disapproving of this situation.
