I intended to go through my kids’ summer clothes almost two months ago over spring break. That has not happened yet. I know, I’m so on top of things. Anyway, with summer just around the corner, I really can’t put it off much longer. My daughter is done with track and my son only has Peewee baseball games on Saturdays, so I really have no excuse not to get it done some afternoon after school. With only three weeks of school left, methinks I am running out of time! Anyway, I was talking to my older daughter about what kinds of clothes she is going to want to get for the summer. I am thinking she is the one who will need the most new stuff since she is twelve and a half and growing like a weed. She told me that the shirts she likes the most are tie-dyed t-shirts. She said she also likes tank tops. And for shorts, she said that mesh shorts are her favorite because they’re so comfortable. Thank goodness she doesn’t want those nasty looking short-shorts that so many young girls want to wear these days! I guess now all that’s left is to find out just how much she needs and get to shopping!

I was wearing a screen printed t-shirt and sitting near my dianthus flowers the other day, taking photo after photo of some black swallowtails, when I noticed another largish bug flying around the flowers. At first glance it almost looked like a bee, but that didn’t quite seem to fit. It did a lot of hovering over the flowers, kind of like a hummingbird, and never really landed allowing its wings to rest. I zoomed in and got quite a few shots of it along with the butterflies. At one point I almost thought it was going to land on the capris I was wearing, but it never did land. I did a Google search when I got inside and found out that this particular bug is called a clear-winged sphinx moth. Who knew? I had no idea that it was just a moth. The funny thing is that according to my research it does indeed like to imitate bees and hummingbirds in order to confuse any predators. What I liked the most about it was its clear wings. I got a few shots at a high enough shutter speed to capture the wings and they look pretty cool. I especially like the ones that showed how iridescent the wings are. Now my young daughter wants wings just like that to attach to her tank tops to wear all summer.
