Here's the front side of Mothra. His antennae have antennae!!! Gross!! And he almost looks like an owl in his markings. I know that's an evolutionary trait of some larger moths.
BACKSTORY: This HUUUGE moth fell into our house from the back kitchen door. We called it "Mothra"; a common christening for house moths of this size. This was to be a good opportunity for Oranjello to satisfy his hunting urges, as well as to train him to hunt pests -- since we have the occasional mice and snakes (and raccoons!). It also proved to be an excellent photo-op.
hanging.
antennae, Mothra.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg visited the National Defense University in Kyiv the day before.
They met with the students of the institution, who are undergoing professional military training courses in accordance with NATO standards. The NATO Secretary General called this one of the examples of how the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is increasingly integrating Ukraine into its structure and educational programs.
During the meeting, the parties discussed the prospects of bolstering Ukraine's air defense. The Head of State noted that thanks to the assistance of our partners, our servicemen have mastered modern Western air defense systems and no other country in the Alliance has such a large number of different types.
"Today, our experts can tell exactly which system is ideal for us and what we are lacking. Our air defense is not yet universal, it is changing and being enhanced every day. Not only with air defense systems, but also with electronic warfare, anti-drone systems, and so on," he said.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukrainian defenders of the sky today face a complex of different threats, and the struggle of technologies continues.
"I am confident that we will have modern aircraft that will also be a part of this system," he added.
For his part, Jens Stoltenberg noted that once Ukraine becomes a member of the Alliance, it will be fully integrated into the NATO air defense system.
"At the same time, we need to make you as interoperable as possible. And integrate you as much as we can," he said.
The Head of State emphasized the importance for Ukraine to receive an invitation to join the North Atlantic Alliance and spoke about the work of the NATO-Ukraine Council.
"We can convene it without any bureaucratic pauses when Ukraine needs it. This is one of the tools. Today we discussed several new tools with the Secretary General," he summarized.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Jens Stoltenberg also visited an exhibition of captured and destroyed Russian equipment on the university grounds.
Thousands of people watched this landmark event in the nation's Capital and one of Washington DC's favorite parades! The Capital Pride Parade presented by Marriott International traveled 1.5 miles through Dupont Circle and 17th Street and ended in the Logan Circle neighborhood. The parade included more than 170 contingents-floats, vehicles, walkers, entertainment-consisting of local businesses, Capital Pride Heroes and Engendered Spirit awardees, politicians, community groups, drag queens, dogs, and much more. For the first time, a U.S. Military color guard led the parade.

Nice early Summer day in Ann Arbor. Saw lots of fox squirrels out and about in Ann Arbor on Monday July 8th, 2019 at the University of Michigan. So all sorts of things going on. I did not see "Patches O'Houlihan" today - and needed to get him a second medicated pecan. Patches is a squirrel who had lost most of her fur because of mange on the Law Quad. I reached out to the Friends of Wildlife Michigan and they connected me with someone who has worked up some medicated pecans for me to feed the squirrels. I did get the second medicated pecan for "Justin" - named for the youngest team member on the dodgeball team that Patches coaches. I did see "Steve the Pirate" again. He has something on his left paw - and a bald patch on his left side and gets his second pecan on Wednesday. I did see Lefty (the three pawed squirrel) again behind Martha Cook - always good to see her.
Of course I only realized five years later that I never finished the top of the blue ghost! What the hell! The top of his head is missing! I have no idea WHAT I was thinking!

On each side of a bright river he saw rise a line of brighter
palaces, arched and pillared, and inlaid with deep red
porphyry, and with serpentine; along the quays before
their gates were riding troops of knights, noble in face and
form, dazzling in crest and shield; horse and man one
labyrinth of quaint colour and gleaming light—the purple,
and silver, and scarlet fringes flowing over the strong
limbs and clashing mail, like sea-waves over rocks at
sunset. Opening on each side from the river were gardens,
courts, and cloisters; long successions of white pillars
among wreaths of vine; leaping of fountains through buds
of pomegranate and orange: and still along the gardenpaths,
and under and through the crimson of the
pomegranate shadows, moving slowly, groups of the
fairest women .

I bought myself a new lens Friday just so I could get pictures like this. It is an 88-400 mm zoom. I ride the Los Gatos Creek Trail five days a week for about nine months of the year. Most years it is a big deal if I see blue herons five times. There were two of them out today. I have more pictures of these dramatic creatures at www.flickr.com/photos/loualexander/sets/72157621131669696/
Logs at the shore of the Bhulla Tal (lake) in the hill resort of Lansdowne in Uttarakhand, North India. There were these logs lying on the shore of the lake, and no good reason why there were there, unless the trees at the shore of the lake were being cut to increase the size of the lake.

One of July's subjects for MSH is "Purple Flower" - so I took several (in various shades) - Now I just need to decide which one to use...
I didn't use this one then, but it's another July, and another subject "Backlit" - and this one already fits the bill...
