I tried to capture the JOY of cat and child at play and I missed. Or did I?
Anyway here is Rally’s back half in full jump toward a Miscanthus flower.

Last sips of summer

Watched.
I have been trying to “catch” this Robin or its friends eating June berries all week! Each bird seems to know the moment I pick up my camera! Even here the cat is looking out the window with me, not helping my chances at all – yet in the end this very alert Robin is photographed among the overripe berries.
A Monarch Distraction
Third grade is nearly over for this homeschool mom and the closer we get to completing the more I – the teacher – look out the window. This day I glance at the Asclepias tuberosa just outside the “classroom” as he plays Ocean Waves on his keyboard. Listening only for a wrong note until I see this butterfly then all is lost. I jump up run for the camera – slide open the screen. Andre stops. The commotion behind him just too much even for Ocean Waves. Together we hang out the window in love with our butterfly friend. Playing a new song – click, click-click, click.

Big kitty
The day was dreary, we were tired of math and spelling, so we jumped in the car. A school day at the Toledo Zoo! As we stood in front of Marta, the Amur Tiger, Andre said, “Take a picture of her nose!” At midday she and her two tiger cubs were fast asleep. By 4 p.m. on our way out of the zoo, they were quite awake. More zoo pics to come!
