A postcard from a student reads (summary) that Mr. Hastings has been their favorite teacher since they took their first class years ago and that he is kind, funny, and empathetic. This student had issues showing up to school but not anymore - though now that they are graduating, it may be a bit late :)

From a cyclist’s point of view, they are riding on the shoulder of a side road. Cars pass the cyclist giving them plenty of space.

A sundial lupine flower (?) partially in bloom. The bottom of the flower structure is bright blue, fading to white and green unopened blooms.

Three blooms on a Virginia Dwarf Dandelion. Aside from the standard jagged leaves, the flowers are more orange-yellow than “dandelion yellow” and are very small. Cute, and small.

Looking down from a parking garage, strings of white lights extend over the street to a nearby park called “Unity Square”. The photo is at night and a large sign with individual letters spelling out UNITY head the park.

Lightning bug with smaller unknown insect seemingly attached to lightning bug’s rear. Both insects are on the poster’s arm just above his watch.

Purple flowers of a sundial lupine contrast with the green leaves.

Several “Yellow Trout Lilly” leaves are sticking up through the ground, no flowers, but the cylindrically shaped flat leaves are green with mottled darker colors, resembling the coloring of a trout fish.
