A wing and a prayer
Jun 7th, 2008 by lapazfarm
Last night we had another gorgeous guest come to bid us farewell. An absolutely stunning Luna moth flew in through an open window and perched on the wall just above the baseboards. The children were, as you can guess, absolutely stunned by his beauty.
I snapped this shot, however, just before he flew headlong into our spinning ceiling fan! We quickly turned it off but he had quite a wild ride for a moment! Hoping he was not injured, we gently scooped him up and put him outside, but he hung around the window…
still attracted to the lights inside the house. So, we turned them all off and waited quietly as he flew away, guided by a sliver of a moon, on his wings and our prayers. May God grant him, and all travelers, a safe journey and a gentle landing.
I love the title of this post, Theresa. God is so good! He is brightening the last of your days in this house with these winged beauties.
He must really know your family.
A safe journey and gentle landing to YOU, my friend.
Your pictures are seriously awesome. Thanks for posting them in the midst of a busy time.
