We found a beautiful Polyphemus Moth in the back yard today.

We have come across the caterpillars and empty cocoons, but this is the first time we have found the moth.

At first I thought it was just a leaf.

Incredible!

We had a quick trip to Vancouver this weekend for my husband's work. This is leaving Vancouver

- the Rocky Mountains 

and arriving in Winnipeg - the Prairies. 

This was the first time we had such a clear view of our small village (outside of Winnipeg).
