The Letter J - Alphabe-Thursday


It's Thursday and time for Alphabe-Thursday. Mrs. Jenny Matlock, our teacher, has given us the letter J for this week's assignment.

J is for Jonquils as we called them in the South.

J is for Johnny Jump-Ups.

J is for Jagged, Jutting, Jumble of rocks. This photo is for my buddies Sandra, Betsy, Ginny, Joan and all the others who like rocks.

J is for Jelly Beans.

J is for Jolly, Jumping Squirrels! Bet you didn't know they could smile.

And of course J is for Judy! That's Me!

Be sure to visit Mrs. Matlock and all the other students at Alphabe-Thursday.

Ahhhh...so THAT'S what a jonquil is! I had heard the name before but never knew. Thanks for that bit of info and for the lovely pictures!

fredamans said...

Judy fab pics as always! Love the jagged rocks. The scene behind it is lovely!

Ginny said...

My very favorite is the johnny jump-up. It is just scrumptious, maybe my favorite of ALL your flower pictures!!! The little squirrel's smile does seem a bit sardonic, doesn't it? If he could talk, I bet he would be sarcastic.

baukje said...

Hi Judy, beautiful pictures......

Strawberry Jam Anne said...

What a lovely set of J's. The jelly beans looked so bright and the jonquils are beautiful.

Love all your choices for J today! The jelly beans are making my mouth water. And that is the fattest, cutest little squirrel, what a great little face. Fantastic photo! Kathy

Brenda said...

Thanks for sharing such great pictures. I have to cover the screen so Ladybug does not see the jumping squirrel because I am afraid she would jump at it! I think she chases them in her mind while looking out the window.

Rae said...

Great photos. Nice J ideas.

The Lucy and Dick Show said...

I didn't know squirrels could smile! (Or does he have gas?)

Catherine said...

Catherine :)

Jenny said...

Thank you dear Judy for a lovely J day!

These images are absolutely gorgeous. What a unique and wonderful vision and ability to capture life you have. I think the rocks are my favorite, though it's hard to choose.

Beautiful photos. And cute squirrels.

Lovely photographs. My favorite is the jutting rocks, but it wasn't the rocks I was looking at, it was the sky. The hues you captured are just gorgeous. Hi, it's the new girl in class, pleased to meet you :-)
