For those of you who couldn't make it, here is a picture of monarchs:

Not as many as in some previous years, but a lot better than recently!

Not taken with a Pentax, I'm afraid; this was my first trip out of the
house with the new Olympus M1X & 40-150/2.8. I'm quite pleased with it.

I agree that Bill Robb’s photo gets the blue ribbon this month!

The prize for the best title should go to Eric for “impathable.” (Either very 
clever, or he was using voice recognition with a bad lisp.)

Dan, as you may know Randall Thompson set a set of Frost’s poems to music in 
his choral work “Frostiana,” which begins with “The Road Not Taken.” I’ve sung 
Frostiana enough that I don’t need the score anymore, and I love it.

“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence.
Two road diverged in a wood and I,
I took the one less travelled by.
And that has made all the difference.”

Henk, how large are those ugly slugs anyway?

Joe, I feel the same way. We haven’t been to Asia, but my wife and I were 
getting to Europe for work (with some holiday attached) once or twice a year. 
My last trip was one to London in April 2019. I surmise that the photo is Notre 
Dame; the fire was agonizing to watch on TV, and I’m neither French nor 
Catholic.

I liked all of them, but I was taken by Jan van "Wijk's Apache Trail, 
Arizona" because I've been there too.  I recognize that spot on the trail.


I have a friend who lives in Mesa, AZ just a few miles from the southern 
terminus in Apache Junction.
