Oh My it’s Mothra

August 4, 2020 Timothy Price61 Comments

While I was standing on the sidewalk in front of the office talking to Jim, he noticed a moth on the front door. I picked it up and it sat on my arm fluttering its wings really fast. I did photos of the moth. In “Live View”, the wings fluttered in slow motion. I converted the “Live View” photos to gifs and then to video and put the above video together with guitar accompaniment. After the moth futtered on my arm for about a minute, it flew over to the wall by the door.

“Up against the wall you red neck…” Mothra†

†Mothra is a fictional monster that first appeared in the 1961 film Mothra, produced and distributed by Toho Studios. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothra to learn more.

Silver was helping me at the clothesline when had an existential experience with a persistence of clothespins.

Intermission: If you were curious about what the inside of my pocket looks like. Now you know.

Too Much Kitty Coffee

Silver: “Hey there Paparazzo! You’re bothering me, boy!”

“I think I had too much kitty coffee this morning!”

Intermission: “Watcha see out there, Spunk?” “Well Marble, there is supposed to be a comet. And it supposedly has a tail! Do you think it’s a kitty comet?” “If it’s Neowise, it has to be a kitty comet. Otherwise, it couldn’t be ‘wise’ now could it?”

“Wired with a weird, wacko paparazzo bothering me. What’s a poor cat to do?”

“Get outta my face or face the freaking consequences!”

A coyote sauntering along the levee looks back to check out the paparazzo.

The Neowise comet from 7/20. That was the only clear sky we had last week.

Oh! We’ve been seeing daddy owl, but not mama owl or the owlets.

Bothered Bumblebee

The buzz off

“Hey, there boy. You’re bothering me.” This poor bumblebee was trying to feed on the echinacea when other bees kept pestering it and T-boning it. I was not able to capture a T-bone, but you can see how the bumble is knocked “off-center” and ends up “not even” right after being slammed into by other flying insects.
