“The Magic of Migration” This is what I believe is the first generation of the monarch this spring/summer. It seems at times the monarch likes to bask in the sun. By the thinner veins and black dots on the hind wings, this is a male. My husband spotted this monarch. I was fortunate it stayed still long enough to get my camera.

“Wishes are not only for humans!” I have become more of an environmentalist, yet I know I am not perfect. I did not know that Goldfinches love dandelions. They forage for the seeds and the females pad their nests with the fluff. The rain did not deter the finches from foraging.

Trap orders are at the school with Chelsie. Please, pick them up before the school year ends! Have a great summer!

"I Want Candy" Briella chose the theme. We had some other more serious smiley poses also. For this post, I chose images that mostly fit the theme. There is one thing for this active girl, I love that I have strobes that catch things and freeze the moment. The candy in the air is an example of the stobe catching it and freezing it. Thanks for being patient with me.

FYI on Prom Orders: I will be bringing in the orders tomorrow morning, 05-12-26, to the school. If it was clear to me that there were two separate orders with the person you walked with, I put them in a separate package. If it wasn’t clear, I stated on the receipt the person you were with. Again, thank you very much!

Thank you DB Prom Goers for making it fun! It made my day when a few of you said, "Thank you, Joyce, and thank you Joyce's husband."
Thank you Sadie in your willingness to lead in this year after year.
