Old Fashioned
I’ve always thought of Hollyhocks as a bit of an old-fashioned flower, popular when I was young (a long time ago) and reminiscent to me of how gardens looked in the 1930’s and 40’s. Warm nostalgia runs through my mind whenever I see them.
Today’s rain reminded me that I had these photographs from Sweetman’s Garden in my files.

This small loon family was having breakfast when we encountered them on the waters of Lake Nosbonsing.

Osprey Family
A few years ago an osprey nest appeared on the cross-arms of a power pole in North Bay. In order to prevent electrical outages and to protect the birds from electrocution and hydro workers who might have to work on the pole, a new one was installed and the lines moved.
The pole with it’s nest was left in place and since then it has been occupied at this time of year to raise a family.
I visited the other day and made these photographs.
Three chicks are in the nest and appear to be close to fledging.

Flowers You Don’t Notice
Monarch Butterflies know about these as they are part of the process that makes new food for the survival of that butterfly species.
Milkweed flowers close up are delicately pretty.
So are Monarch Butterflies. Haven’t seen one yet this Summer.
There is still hope, I guess.
