They say this is a Royal Hickory Moth. Wingspan was about 5 or 6 inches. Red bug with complex face, ridged back and orange legs. Wings are beautiful brown with yellow spots. #NCNature

They say this is a
Royal Hickory Moth.
Wingspan was about 5" or 6". Beautiful wings.
Saw him hanging outside the library today. Wish I'd seen it as a caterpillar.

It was very strange. Even being there ... well it was hard to get my head around. But just beautiful.

Sunset on Oak Island Beach, N.C., looking out to the Atlantic Ocean. This is one spot where, in the winter, you can see both the sunrise and sunset looking out from the beach.

Sunset! Day is done. Spent Christmas on Oak Island, a barrier island off North Carolina. From that point at that time on the U.S. east coast, the angle of the island and coastline means you can watch both sunrise and sunset looking out to the Atlantic Ocean. Surreal. Photo: 12/19/22 5:30 p.m.

Wrote this early in Covid lockdown. Eerily true still.

MAKING YOUR OWN HEAVEN

is it possible to stop being scared about what might happen
and just know your own heaven is something
here on earth that you have made with your own
hands
your own
heart

Love that. It's on one of my long walk play lists. More dancing and singing than walking. I'm sure I turn heads.

What a gift. 💜

I had a boss like that once. The trick was always to be the last person to talk with him. It was sooo frustrating.

spit-take!

Thank you so much, Beth. I'm planning to make a chicken pie this weekend ... mostly plain and creamy looking but with a POP! of colorful carrots. 🥕

Black and white photo of actress Audrey Hepburn looking elegant. She's on the streets in Manhatta, looking in the window of Tiffany's jewelry story. She looks elegant, hair up, big dark sunglasses, simple black dress, big multi-strand necklace around her neck. She looks in charge and very beautiful.

Two small shorebirds, black and white, on the edge of the ocean. Their reflection in the wet sand looks like a mirror.

Oh good. It takes a turn, but I really enjoyed the description of the swimmers and their behavior.

sad eyes, yellow teeth
your grin was so sincere
I hardly noticed your needs

Let's both erase that word from our vocabulary. Take care. Be kind to you!!

"spun me in silk" ... I love that phrase. Could be beautiful and suffocating. We live and learn, don't we? 💜

I hope you were free by Covid lockdown. 💜

Thank you. I love it when the sentiments in a haiku inspire me to bounce off of it ... write one that echoes back. And that puppy....

A book called Three Martini Afternoon at the Ritz. On loan from a good friend.

Thanks for sharing. Up next for me ....

And we know they never texted. But did they write? Are there letters?

memory and craving
call it yearning for a dance
a night that ends in sweat

Oomhff.
This takes my breath away. Lovely. ... in the way understanding pain can be lovely.

Small white dog in a blue harness lying down, tongue hanging out. He's got a tennis ball between his paws.

Thank you.
Enjoy your pup.
