Monday – getting into the swing of things… kinda!

Yep, number 215!  Can you believe it?  Are you bored with this endless plan of mine?  Any favorite shots?  I have been learning more about photography… I hope that I can take a class this winter at Wolf’s in Topeka.  Meanwhile, I am working to get back into a routine with school.  Marek is out for football.  Can’t remember if I had already told you that but it is awesome for freeing me up from 3:45 to 6 each day!  Not so much for him!  I hated to say, “I told ya so.” but like any good mom I did!  He is liking it but he’s definitely missing his free time and freedom of choice.  Meanwhile, I am using the time to hit the trails! This week I will hit the trail and the garden and I have a girls night out WITH THE KAYAK planned for Wednesday!  I figure that I should be taking advantage of the gorgeous weather we are having!  Hoping to firm up some plans for labor day weekend with the family soon.  Perhaps a motorcycle ride?  Hmmm…  meanwhile the shot of the day is a series… I love this moth!  A Humming Bird Moth!    A quick trip to research this moth has left me needing more information.  There are many types of hummingbird moths and I am not sure which type this is.  I will ponder this …

How amazing is this?  He uses his long probiscus to suck up some awesome nectar!  He flies around almost as fast as a real Hummingbird and sounds all buzzy like a humming bird too.  He is tough to photograph unless you have copious quantities of these cool tube type flowers (native, don’t know the name!).
