Butterfly Moth

The other day I was weeding in my front 

garden and something flew out and startled

me.

It landed on the top of the bush. So I went and

got my little Kodak which I always take out with

me when gardening.

Lucky for me that it just stood there for a long

time.

I really love the colors - the tan, beige and the
blues - it reminded me of a peacock.

So pretty!

The front - face and legs reminds me of a spider.

I looked it up on google and found what the

name of it is -  Polyphemus Moth.

This is one reason that I don't mind weeding -

I always seem to find something new to learn.

As I was coming up my walk the

other day; I spotted a little 

bird running in my flower bed. 

I went to take a closer look

and he ran under the Spirea bush.

I thought he was hurt.

Last night while weeding I spotted

him again; only to my surprise he

was in the small fir tree - just

sitting there.

 I asked him if he was hurt (o;

He didn't appear to be scared of 

me; so I grabbed my camera and took

a photo. 

I hope that it's not hurt in any

way - he would make an easy prey - 

which made me sad.

Not called Sea Gulls as I had originally
thought.

Wordless Wednesday

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love — that makes life and nature harmonize. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one's very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~George Eliot

Garden

I enjoy walking around my garden

looking for bugs, bees or butterflies.

I have added a new "page" for bugs

and critters - check it out. I promise

it's not that scary.
 

This is a wild onion plant - I was going to

pull it out last year but decided to leave

it.  It seems that the bees are crazy for

it!  And not only bees....

And then there's also some pretty 

scary .....

  Spiders!

Walking through the garden is

an adventure for sure.

Spring....Yes!

More Snow

More snow today in Lancaster.
I thought it was spring?
