Y is yelling at me because I am being slow and am yet to create a post. So I decided that I would go easy on all of us, we who have read at least nine million words this month in blogmiles alone, and go with pictures. Pictures with yellow. Mind you, I haven’t selected the photos yet, so let’s see how this goes!
Oh and a quick note on Jane Storegoer and the Cone of Evil. Her story will continue, stay tuned to find out how and when!
Look. I’m kinda pale yellow.
No question. Yellow here!
I’m tiny! See my yellow? SEE IT?
I could attack a medium-sized city if I only had some toxic waste.

A Bit to Read 
I can’t help but think that doing this challenge using colors would be a lovely thing. Fewer words, more images. Just light and happy. So tired of words at this point…

I really, really get that right now. I actually think someone did, and she’s commented here, or liked the blog, but I can’t remember who it was off the top of my head at the moment. So if you are the color blogger, please speak up!
I mean I think you could cover almost all the letters, though X, as usual, could be a pain.
But if today’s is up, it’s just one more to go!

Aww thanks. But I have to confess: Butterfly Exhibit at the Chicago Botanic Garden, and another Garden bird. They’re not exactly tricky subjects 😉

I’m all for visual rhetoric this evening. Love the butterfly pictures, which tell a lovely story. Glenda from

Thanks so much! Yes, like all the wildlife at the Chicago Botanic Garden, they were terribly cooperative. And at this point, it’s tough to read even what you really want to read!

That train zipping around a pond looks so cool. Is that Chicago Botanic Garden as well? Nice!

Yes, it’s their model train area. It’s really magical. Last year at Christmas they brought all the trains inside and set up a whole exhibit.
There’s also something unique about the miniatures, but I can’t remember what it is. Oops.

Thanks so much! And to you as well, it’s been quite a month! (I just typed “moth,” entirely accidentally. Or maybe it wasn’t. My subconscious is super punny).

I almost didn’t get into the blogosphere today. We had great plans of going downtown. But it’s cold and rainy.
Way to go, sister!

Oh, that would have been fun, I’m sure! And thanks 🙂 I think it’s great reading weather. Or writing weather. Or puzzling whether. In my case it will be laundry weather. WHOO HOO! Living the life.

Love the post!!! Succinct, with pretty pictures. I love the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Used to spend hours there with my Mum. In fact, there is a trio of Cherry Tree my Mum had planted at the gardens in memory of her father and two brothers. Such a cool place.

Aww, thank you! How lovely is that? Do you know where they are? I’d love to find them next time I go, which will likely be very soon. I am hoping not to miss the crab apple trees.

I am not exactly sure where they are, but there is a plaque my Mum had placed in front of the trees.

It would say something about the “Wall” brothers. That would be cool if you could, but only if you happen to pass by the trees – certainly don’t go out of your way. That’s so nice of you to even think of doing that!!!!

Sometimes it’s nice to read lots of words, and sometimes it’s nice to stare at beautiful pictures. You have given us both, so thank you for that! I enjoyed your pictures, and I have enjoyed your words (and I am finally getting to catch up on everyone’s A to Z that I fell behind with!)
