A Bug By Any Other Name.....

But I'd certainly like to know what this is called - this creature that found itself outside my door. I have never seen one before but I thought it was pretty interesting so I told it not to move while I went inside to grab my camera.

UPDATE:  Ailanthus Webworm Moth - thanks to nephew's wife!

Got To Wear Shades!

These sunglasses are a fairly permanent fixture on my son's face during the summer.  They are starting to fall apart and he has talked about getting a new pair, but hasn't done so yet. Sooooo, I asked him if he'd pose for me while practicing saxophone tonight and wearing his cool shades.  It's getting easier to get him to be my subject  - maturity is just starting to trickle in.

Here is my entry for this week's I Heart Faces theme, for week #33!
