Another luna wing

What monster is it that is tearing the wings off luna moths, hereabouts?

Anyway, this morning I set out to do some guardrail balancing--I figured 7:30 on a Sunday morning would mean no one was about, but maybe it's because it's the Fourth of July weekend, but there were too many cars. I only did a little balancing.

I kept walking, though, and found this luna wing.

I'm wearing a shirt with a pocket, so I put it in my pocket--and it turned out to be a passport to the land of black raspberries. So many, and I hadn't come with anything to put them in--so I folded a grape leaf in half and stitched it with some grass, and voila, a carrying pouch.

Mmmm, berries.

Always a little different, though I'm struck, especially this year, by how, year after year, I post similar things . . . I worry I get boring, but I figure, it's the cycle of the seasons, and if I enjoy it anew each year, maybe other people do, too.

Ditto this!

We were evolved for this cycle, and we are great amnesiacs and non-noticers.

You are so right about being amnesiacs--each year there's so much I forget, so each time I see whatever-it-is, it's absolutely entrancing.

And you are a superb noticer and rememberer.

But then, with very perfect and vivid memories we'd apparently constantly be halted by being transfixed.
