Fabulous visitor, reported to eButterfly yesterday, wingbeats rapidly
jittering for most of the 9-10 mins nectaring a plot of wild
(naturalized) phlox out my window, its wings even wider than those
massive flowerheads. Not fresh, a tad frayed.Giant SW has been here
before but not in the year or 2 late cold springs took out Tithonia
crop.

_There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is
translated through you into action, and because there is only one of
you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it
will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The
world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good
it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It
is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the
channel open._ Martha Graham
