Two from Sarah and Lorelei.....

This morning when I finally got on the computer, this pic awaited me from Sarah and Lorelei.  They found this white line sphinx this morn before Lorelei went to school  Look how big it is on Lorelei's hand.  Oh, Click and enlarge to see it better.

Then a few minutes ago, she had her mommy send me this one.  Notice the hands...that is her wordless 'I love you.'

This time tomorrow she will be here.  She has plans for us to go fishing.  She will be wanting to look for all kinds of bugs, etc.  When we go hiking or for a walk...she calls it 'traveling.'  Its "Hey, Mamaw, let's go traveling."

Can you see it?

Another Sky Watch Friday has come and gone now...I saw so many awesome photos that my head is spinning. I almost got everyone visited...but not quite. I am thankful to Tom for hosting it. And I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me.

Now to today's post....these are a couple pictures from my slides. I am not sure if it was me that did not have them in sharp focus, or if it is so late I am doing something wrong in scanning them in. They aren't horrible but they could definitely be a bit better. I am not sure what moth this is, I have not had time to look it up. If you know what it is, please feel free to post the answer.

Please click photos to enlarge.

I think nature's camouflage is so awesome...you almost have to do a double take to see the image the moth in the picture above. One of the girls put it on their leg so I could get a better photo of it. These were taken in 1995

Imperial Moth

I am pretty sure this is an imperial moth. I notice some of us have either been posting some of these beauties--well, butterflies mostly, but I always think of moths when I think of butterflies. Anyway, I found Butterflies and Moths of North America and that will be helpful to some of us. The thumbnails of the photos in the gallery are not real great, but most of the time the ones I clicked to enlarge were pretty decent photographs.

And THIS is another place I found with photographs--I don't think it quite as good as the one listed above but it isn't too bad.
