It has been quiet

I am out here, but very busy. Progress reports go out at school on Thursday, and we're still hand-writing them on the triple carbon forms. I know, it's the 21st century, but I can remember hand lettering report cards when I first started teaching, and at least I don't have to do that anymore!

I went to the Huntsville Botanical Gardens Saturday, and spent a good bit of time taking pictures of butterflies in the indoor butterfly garden. None of those pictures are particularly impressive. Then, when I went out, I got the photo here. This butterfly literally landed within 6 feet of me, and stayed there long enough for me to get three photos, changing angles after each one.

They had a kaleidoscope set up, with clear glass in the device, but aimed at a pretty flower bed like a telescope. I tried to take a picture through the lens, but just got blur...

I should be working on my mom's quilt. Another summer has gone by...
