• Today’s best shot is the worst.

  There was this tiny moth that landed near my feet out on the muskeg, folded its wings and nearly disappeared in the debris on the ground.  I managed to get down to its level with the camera without scaring it off.  Just as I was focusing on it, P. K. Piebean approached and I took the shot I had, knowing that if I waited another millisecond the moth would be gone.

  

  The cat, of course, could not have cared less.

  

  Nothing spectacular from the rest of my time out there… just some shots of marsh cinquefoil, Potentilla palustris, all but ready to burst into bloom.

  
  
  
  

  I found four blueberries on my muskeg walk.  This suggests that the weather had been rainy when the flowers needed pollenators, and the insects were keeping under cover.  The few berries, of course, are fat and juicy.  …and I’m exhausted.

  ‘Bye.

  Oh, by the way, I got this plea for help in comments on one of my old biker years posts  If anyone can help the woman, please do, because I wouldn’t know where to begin:
