Is it a bird..is it a bug?.....

On the weekend I was watering my flower beds when I heard and saw what I thought was a young hummingbird, flitting from larkspur to larkspur, sipping nectar. When it flew closer, I realized that this was no hummingbird. He/she stayed for quite a while and I tried to get decent pictures of it. Finally it flew away.

Upon investigation via the internet, it turns out to be neither. Instead it is a hummingbird clearwing moth.
Never ever so anything like it before! Have you?

Joshua's New Skill

On our last trip to Barrie to work on the deck, Joshua started to stick out his tongue. Chloe had a great time licking Joshua's barefeet and fingers. So Margot thinks that he learned it from Chloe!

Recent Camping Trip

We returned home recently from a camping outing to Inverhuron Provincial Park on Lake Huron. Thought you might be interested in some picutres that I took while there.
