Snowberry Clearwing . . .



One of the best arguments for having a garden is its ability to surprise. My garden satisfies my hunger for evidence of magic. What I love about nature is its strength, tenacity, and defiance against humanities fabricated designs. Today, while holding the beautiful dozing baby girl, a Snowberry Clearwing Hummingbird Moth visited my butterfly bush just as a female Ruby Throated Hummingbird was looking for a drink.
Another sweet and surprising moment . . . and I was there to enjoy it.

Wow, it's been a really long time since I saw a hummingbird. They're little jewels, aren't they?
