Was it the Mothman?

A few weeks ago, I saw a really nasty looking caterpillar on the jamb of my backdoor. I deftly removed it without killing it and deposited it elsewhere. It was a pale green color, very fluffy with angry looking spikes (actually more feathery than evil!!) all over its little body, and it had feathery antennae above its eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

This morning, I discovered this in the backyard. The Mothman has arrived!

 

The last image is to try and show how big it is without disturbing its little snooze.

 

I have also had other alien visitors. They ate all my parsley.

 

A day of clouds at Assateague, Maryland

My kids and I decided to spend at Assateague State Park, Maryland. We saw plenty of wild horses and curious people, and had a great time swimming in the rather cold ocean waves. It was great, especially since there were no jellyfish, seaweed or other nasties that sometime lurk in those waters.

 

It was cloudy when we arrived and it proceeded to get more ominous as time passed. I love clouds and the sea, so I took some pics with my little point-and-shoot Kodak

It became a little chilly so I wrapped up in a pareo. I look somewhat grim here!

Lucifer

I call this my Halloween song, it just seems dark and menacing. "Lucifer" actually means "Light" or "Light bearer", so hopefully it's not as evil as it seems.

New song,"Eat"

I wrote this song while visiting Australia and most of the imagery is based on a

small statue I bought of a woman sitting in the Lotus position. Other images of birds and trees are from early morning walks.

Chestertown, MD

A friend and I took advantage of the great weather on Saturday to take a leisurely drive to Chestertown and further north along the DelMarVa Peninsula. We had a great lunch at the Fish Whistle, a restaurant on the waterfront. The food was good and service helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a great view of the Chester River and the town harbor, home to the schooner Sultana.

After a stroll on the dock and the promenade, we headed out to Betterton which was once a thriving beach resort. Once touted as the "Jewel of the Cheapeake", it now has a meagre population of only 376. It does have a beach with great views across the Bay. From there we headed to Chesapeake City, crossing the stately bridge across the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal which was built in 1839.
