Eye Spy

The Bald Eagles silently hunt around our property…

Sometimes the large shadows slide over me while I’m working in the garden,

sending me running to ensure the safety of chickens, kittens, and a little Dachshund.

Not the best image, but I was thrilled to snap a few shots as this Eagle hunted the newly picked fields.

Can you spy the Eagle?

Seed saving

The Nasturtium seeds have been forming,

and after collecting a handful,  I have been dropping them in random places to dry.

Once dry, I will package in small envelopes, label, and store in a cool dry spot.

Wild Saturniid Silk Moth

I hooked you with that title didn’t I!

This “thing” was making it’s way across my garden table this afternoon.

Have you ever seen anything like it?

I mean really, this “thing” is huge!

See what I mean! And look at those colors!

So I googled about this “thing”

and found out his name.

Wild Saturniid Silk Moth

Cecropia!

And then I remembered this visitor I had back in July.

The biggest, prettiest Wild Saturniid Silk Moth I have ever seen!
