Life is a little blah, the flowers are done in the garden, and projects aren't at a shareable stage.
You think "I'll just skip it today. I'm not in that great of a mood anyway."
Then....
You notice the cat is noticing something.
Something on the window screen is big and green....
A luna moth!
A close up of the eyes on the lower wing.
Don't the wings have a luscious texture?
That didn't work very well. Nice try though.
(If you click on the above picture you can also see the gorgeous antena on this moth!)
The top markings look like snake heads.

Honestly, don't I have the coolest critters that come to visit our house?
(Special PS to Becky: The moth was on the outside of the window, not inside. How did you ever raise all those sons and yet be so squeamish anyway?)

Oh, how beautiful that is! Thank you for sharing the pictures.
Oh my goodness! They are incredibly beautiful! I have never seen one before...not sure if they are in my neck of the woods.
Ok, that IS so cool! I totally understand how you feel you've got nothin' to say....and then viola, magic in the form of a beautiful green creature. Perfect.
Thanks for sharing.
Incredible. It looks like it's made of brushed suede. Creative creator I say and thanks for posting the great shots Jill.
I've always felt special when a luna moth decides to visit us for a while. They are so beautiful...and SO big!
I'm still digging through boxes. I feel as if I'm digging for buried treasure. I absolutely cannot locate a single drinking glass (wine, water, or otherwise), nor can I find any of Doc's sport coats (and yes, he should be wearing them to this new job!)!
What a beautiful critter....I've never seen one like that around here. Yes, he's much nicer than that bug Miss Kitty posted recently!
Oh wow, what gorgeous pictures. The macro settting didn't let you down.
I could almost feel the velvet wings.
Wow an amazing moth. Frankly I'm petrified of them and we only get relitivly small ones here in the UK!
Hal and I were both amazed, neither of us has ever seen a Luna moth, to our recollection. Great pictures !! Thanks for sharing. Love, mom and dad S.
Very cool...and such clean and tidy nails! Beautiful pictures!
Before I forget...totally off topic (sorry)...I'm going to be in San Diego that latter part of May, I think...any good garden scoop you care to share? I'm going to try to visit an AHS Display Garden, but I'm up for suggestions. Thanks!
Beautiful! What a clever cat too to notice. Bet you'll find some millinery inspiration in those photos. Your close ups are awesome!
