Thank you Ashley!!! I found myself getting so caught up in the self imposed urgency of getting everything done in the veg garden, horse care, the flower beds. This morning the sun was bright and there was dew every where that glistened like magic. I stopped in my tracks with awe of the crystalline beauty that surrounded me. Yes, stuff will get done but now with even more presence of gratitude for nature's gifts. I am grateful for your sharings.
Love this - it's so easy to get caught up in the future and I love these moments that bring you right back to the present. Great reminder to slow down and simply observe a little more.
I haven't seen my own Luna Moth yet, but came across a GIANT caterpillar in a northern forest. It was about as large around as my thumb, and longer. It blended in perfectly with the 5-6 foot foliage in the underbrush and it was incredible to be found. Hoping to be able to identify it someday, it was a green like the Luna.
Recently a calendar with photos from nature sites around the world was sent to me, in it there was a photo of a moth in Madagascar (Madagascan moon moth, Argema mittrei ). It looks the same size and form as the Luna but is colored in shades of gold and yellow. The distinct features are all there. But, you know, Canadian border, and Madagascar?
