Can you spot who’s visiting the milkweed?

Happy Independence Day. Remember, 249 years ago the Founding Fathers said this country wouldn’t be ruled by a tyrant. That still goes.

Here, have a dandelion.

July 3, 2025. Wolverine Lake, Michigan.

Photograph of a yellow firework atop two white rocket trails, creating the appearance of a dandelion.
Although I’m not celebrating this year, I still saw some fireworks when taking out the trash last night.
A red and white burst of fireworks in the sky illuminates smoke over the treetops.
It’s beautiful! Love the red wing blackbirds and their catalog of sounds.
Worth it- nice shot.
We missed #Caturday again but maybe you’ll humor us being a little behind. Minnow is my littlest fishy.

A little flowering dogwood for your feed.

Three flowering dogwood blooms, white petals that go to pink at the outer edges and a green center, surrounded by green dogwood leaves.
Happy #Caturday from Finny and I.
A black cat face looks at the camera with its mouth slightly open. His owner‘s hand is around his chest, and you can see a little of her face peeking out from behind his head.
Sometimes instead of being more passionate we just need to rest and withdraw for a while to build up the strength so we can be passionate again. Take care of yourself, rest, mourn, sleep, and surround yourself with soft things. This time will pass and become barely a blip in your memory, if that. Be kind to yourself. 🖤
The first time I saw a Monarch chrysalis close up I stared at it for so long trying to understand why someone would have painted gold onto it. My mind had a hard time imagining that it was there naturally. We so often underestimate nature. I should really know better. She’s always revealing new wonders to us.

You’re so lucky. I’ve never seen a bluebird in person. 💙
Mmmmmm beans and cornbread. 😋
