I don't really know what this is, but it's beautiful so I took a picture of it

That looks like a sphinx moth. Very pretty!

That is very pretty! Looks like it has fur.

most moths have that fur....lower set of wings on a lot of them that sit like that are different colors....bright oranges, reds, and pinks. upper set for camouflage, lower with bright colors to scare off predators.

A few days ago it was nice and warm, so I took my mom on a nature hike. She was pretty cool about me dragging her through the underbrush looking for snakes, and she's even forgiven me for letting go of a wild rose branch while trailblazing, and whapping her in the head with it! We put about 7km on our running shoes that day.
We saw some ducks in the creek:


Also saw several garters, but this boy is the only one I could get hold of. He was very cooperative for pictures. I didn't keep him.





And while I'm at it, here's one of my tiny feathered friends from back in September. This is the only picture he stayed still long enough to get!

Here's a few pictures from a hike we went on this past Summer. Sorry, I don't do scientific names.
Bag O Garters

This one had the best defensive show I've seen in a while. I love how curious they are.
