Still Life with Robin: Sequels

 by Peggy Robin

This week's column features two follow-ups to previous columns.

1.. Still Life with Robin: Montgomery County Public Schools at the Supreme Court, April 22 (Message #224456, April 19)

Last Saturday I wrote about the rally in front of the US Supreme Court to support the Montgomery County (MD) Public School System in its bid to allow teachers to read books with gay and trans characters (like "Pride Puppy") in the classroom without giving parents advance notice to let them keep their kids out of class, avoiding exposure to LGBTQ characters.

Although reporters inside the courtroom, who heard the two-and-a-half-hour oral arguments, say it's expected that Pride Puppy will lose, there was still an upbeat and enthusiastic crowd there to cheer him on. Here are two photos from the day -- and you can see nine more at the Rally For... photo album.

2. Still Life with Robin: Blooming Flowers, Booming Voices (Message #224008    , April 5)

Three Saturdays ago, I devoted the first half of the Still Life with Robin column to photos of SPRING FLOWERS seen around the neighborhood. I posted a few photos of red & yellow striped tulips, black tulips, purple hyacinths, mixed tulips and daffodils, and forsythia. Those flowers have faded, but now is prime time for azaleas, irises, plus some random yellow flowers that I captured digitially but can't identify (see below). I'm a bit of a flower dunce, so if you can tell me what they are -- and what that white one is, below.... a white rose??) I'd appreciate the information!

Both photo albums -- Rally for..... and Spring Flowers -- are open to list members to upload their own photos. Here are the upload instructions.

1. Go to the PHOTOS section of the CP Listserv.
2. Click on the album you would like to add your photos to - for example: Spring Flowers or Rally for.....
3. Look for the green +Add Photos button and click on it.
4. You will see an option to "drop and drag" or "browse," allowing you to choose how you would like to locate your photos on your computer and add them to the album. Pull up each photo you want to add to the album, write a description in the "description" box, and then click "Add."
