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.
Veer Frost, Passumpsic
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
