Farm pet Goat he was very friendly especially when you went with a handful of food. The only one who didn't like carrots.
Photos of my friendly little visitor this morning :D.
In case you didn’t know, I freakin’ love Actias luna. I saw one once when I was a kid (maybe 7 or 8 years old) on my parents’ beanstalks in the garden. It was literally the most magical creature I’d ever seen in my short life, I couldn’t even understand how it was supposed to be a real thing. I didn’t see another until I was 25, when my mother brought me one that she’d found dead. It was missing a tail and was beaten and tattered, but it was still just as beautiful as I remembered. I mounted and framed it into a piece of art that sits on top of my mantle and plan on making it part of a tattoo someday.
Aside from another dead specimen I found on a walk with Rich in a park (which I also have framed in my ‘gallery’ of sorts in the living room), I’d never seen another living one until today, despite -years- of trying. I tried every type of light in my lures, I walked through forests, I researched local breeding patterns, I looked under leaves and bushes. Zip.
When I walked out the door to run some errands, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, turned to lock the door and started walking again only to do a complete double take and flip the freak out. He was just hanging out there on the side of our column, minding his business and vibrating his wings in the shade. I threw open the door again, grabbed my camera, and took as many pictures as he’d put up with before he eventually fluttered up into the oak tree outside our balcony, where he stayed for the rest of the day :).
As a bit of trivia, this guy is a male (noted by the plumed antennae), so I really hope he’s found a gal to make more Lunas with <3
After training, the Team GB Gymnasts were on their way to the movies to see "Stick It". They bumped into Bob and Bobby and got a chance to commiserate about the culture shock of moving to Texas. I overheard parts of the conversation that went something like this...
- "Why is so hot still? It's not supposed to be 95 degrees (35 C) at the end of September!" (good point!!)
- "And all the food is Tex Mex or BBQ!" (another good point!)
- "And everyone drives on the wrong side of the road" :-)

Despite their close proximity, these two food truck operators make sure their they complement one another by not selling the same menu.
I don't recall the name, but it was one of a group of very large fish who live in lakes in Brazil. At the New York Aquarium, Coney Island, Brooklyn, NYC -- September 8, 2015
A leftover from a previous trip to Morton Arboretum. While passing through the picnic area, this red squirrel has his strict attention on me. Shot with 100mm, I'm not more than 2 meters away and it allowed me to get some great shots.
After Full Emergency Stand Down Aircraft And Pilot Towed Back To Hangers.
Friendly Wave From A Top Gun Pilot.
When I was trekking on lake Baikal, every driver wanted to take me. It must be a place to maintain 100% hitchhiking successful rate. And he was the first one!
The Robins at Savill Garden are as, if not more tame than the Robins at Wisley. This little fellow took quite a shine to my four year old daughter Emilia!
Friends having fun at swimming track.
Learnt an important lesson. NEVER play handball with a camera attached to your wrist. Ended up with 3 stitches to the back of my head.
