Prairie Songster
Friends, this songster is a Western Meadowlark and he is singing from a tree, usually you find them on the ground or on a fencepost, singing singing singing.

That yellow shirt with the black tie looks a bit formal but daring at the same time. I think they are my favorite bird and the state bird of North Dakota. Too bad I couldn’t capture their pretty song. til Tomorrow MJ

Tiny Angel
Friends, went to Como Conservatory with my sister and mom, this orchid struck me as a red angel against a cloud of yellow.

These orchids were perched in front of a gray neutral card and seemed the perfect background, maybe this was planned so I made use of the planning. Orchids are so varied, til Tomorrow MJ
