Crying for New Orleans

Oh how I've cried, and I really don't know why
Each day all the scenes of distruction seem unreal
I can't pull myself away from the pictures of this place
All the pain and the hurt, I can't imagine how they face
How they cry and stay strong, know not where they belong
In a world, all alone, they can only remain strong
Can you see how they long for the morning to erase
This the pain and the hurt , get them out of this place
Oh, how I've cried, and I really don't know why
In my thoughts, on my mind,
Hoping God will show his grace.

Sphinx Moth! I got it!

Oh My Gosh! It took a while, but I finally got the shot! The Sphinx Moth in action on my moon vine. What a beautiful moth it is, and very flighty I might add. I had to stand there forever before it landed to take this shot. You just have to experience this sight to appreciate it. Just
wanted to share this wonderful sight
with anyone who appreciates the wonders of nature...oh..my...what a sight. Like I said, the Moon Vine...grow it, smell it...and enjoy the nights of wonder...a lovely sight to behold...........
