And J is for Jacaranda tree! One of the loveliest trees that I found in Mexico when I lived in San Miguel de Allende.



And J is for Jump for Joy! Every day!
I'm adding this note because so many of you have commented on this shot -- I wish I could claim to have taken it, but a friend sent it to me and it was so perfect for the day, I just had to include it. Should have made that clear to begin with -- just assumed you guys would know that I'm not that good of a photographer!

    I've not seen a jacaranda tree before but have always thought the word 'jacaranda' is rather a good one! Now I know the tree looks pretty good too.

    And it seems very clever, to me, to be able to take such a jump photo.

    Oh yes! JUMP for joy!

    A street in a town near where I live is named Jacaranda so now I know what the tree looks like. Good for you for volunteering in a Jump Start program!

    Indeed-great photos! I love the one of the kids jumping in the air. What a FABULOUS image! You should enter it in a photo contest somewhere. A winner.

    Great J choices Sylvia. In 1971 a year before I went to kindergarten I went to Head Start, I wonder if Jump Start is the same. I loved Head Start. :)

    James, the Jump Start program is similar to Head Start. It was started here in Seattle by a neighbor of ours and it is for pre-school children. I believe it really helps get them ready for kindergarten and being a former teacher, I enjoy working with them a couple of days a week.

    I do love that tree, oh and the jumping. Jump start/head start is SO important to developing young minds.

    Enjoyed all the J's, but the last photo is superb! What a perfect illustration of jumping for joy!

    By the time I get here on Wednesday morning, you have usually posted your Tuesday evening words of wisdom, and I want you know how much I enjoy them, Sylvia. Feeling a bit under the weather today, I found these quotes so inspiring and motivating; thank you!
