A walk on the beach..Sand Art

Peaceful...Lake Superior shoreline and sand art.
A repeat of our walk and the very same sand art 32 years later...time flys.
See Shutter Lag photo below.

There is a world of difference between 1 second and 50 milliseconds.

Sometimes I swear he moves faster then light.....hard to keep up with my sweet baby boy Ethan.

Vintage wicker trout creel-itty bitty- a place I made for my grandkids

I walked loooking around and quite amazed when I came across this odd little wooden
home site surrounded by wild violets and moss.It looked to have a bark roof.
I got down on both hands and knees to look closer when I seen what was far more
then my eyes could believe.
I saw the teenie, weeniest of a vintage wicker trout fishing creel and a pole made from
a twig with a hook .I had to rub my eyes twice but there again it was..... both times.
Do you believe?

Hummingbird Moth

So you think you saw a baby hummingbird, but you just couldn't explain those antennae.
Did you even think maybe nature gives baby hummingbirds feathers that mimic antennae to disguise the vulnerable baby?
Maybe they fall off when they get to a certain age... NOT!!
