8/15: at the bottom of the hill

I took a mid-day break from computer work to amble down the driveway and get the mail.  As I was turning the corner to the mail-box I saw something bright flash by and settle in a nearby bush.  I thought it was one of the little warblers that have the same green and yellow coloring as sun-dappled leaves.  But it wasn't:  it was a luna moth, one of my very favorite flying things.  I was lucky she stayed still as I moved closer to get a view.  And then in the mail-box there were notes from two wonderful mail friends.
