Helping others is part of what makes the United States, well, UNITED. Here a planting of Milkweed (Asclepias) aids the Monarch butterflies as they migrate across county during the year. Disturbed lands have limited this plant critical to the Monarch’s diet and thus survival. Careful care will continue this amazing species. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergOne of my favorite images from my Prairie collection is this one. I love it because it showcases the necessity of the prairie’s DIVERSITY for its ability to sustain itself and thrive. Soils are richer; wildlife are able to flourish; plants are just happier. May we pause and really look at nature for inspiration this 4th of July. HAPPY 4th of July to all dear ones, people and animals and plants. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
