Sphinx Moth In My Garden

 

The Sphinx moth’s are found worldwide . They  primarily hide during the day and emerge at dusk or during the early morning hours. I guess this guy was hungry to be out and about late afternoon !

Summer 2013 (1 of 9)

As a caterpillar, They eat the leaves and stems of plants. As an adult moth, They drink nectar from flowers. They will go from flower to flower hovering over them and they are often confused with the hummingbird.

Summer 2013 (3 of 9)

Their size and rapid wing beats allow them to hover and feed like hummingbirds, which is why they were nicknamed 'hummingbird moths'. People often mistake the protrusion on the back of the sphinx caterpillar for a stinger .

Air Show

 

 

Happy Canada day to all our fellow Canadians .

 

Ken and I went to  St Thomas air port   to watch a wonderful and jaw dropping Great Lakes International Air Show .

It was awesome . I have been to many air shows over the years but this one was the best . It was all paid for by Ken’s work and I got to meet a lot of the people Ken works with . It was a day of fun sun  good food and awesome folk. We were in the VIP  tent and area front row seats to the runway !

I didn't take my camera cause I wanted Ken to be the photographer for this as he doesn’t get as much photography time as I do and the photos and video he took was fantastic . He put some of his fave photos and videos together yesterday and made a DVD  to music . There was this one Pilot  Sean Tucker who was amazing in his acrobatic red plane named Oracle Challenger III  . He is the best in the world   and it was fantastic that he was talking to the audience  and fans from the cockpit as he was in the middle of his stunts .If you would like to see the DVD  that Ken did please go to  .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jLDBTiaEaE&fmt=22

Here are some of the photos he took as well !

This is the P51 C Mustang a long range escort fighter . Flown by the famous Tuskegee Airmen . There is a movie about the history of this plane and it’s pilots called  Red Tails . We have seen it and it is a good movie .

           We had a wonderful time and to this day I still want to go up in one of these beauties !
