This will be part of this summer's Earth Art Exhibition at the Royal Botanical Gardens. The instrument was under construction. I can hardly wait to see it finished.

Both actually. I went to our west pond to look for fish and found this little guy instead. When I walked to the left side of the pond to avoid disturbing the deer, it followed me.
The deer may be more of a problem this year as the numbers seem to be increasing and they are increasingly bold.

If anyone know the name of this moth, please let me know.
I have lots of keys to sort out wild flowers but I don't know any good ways to sort out butterflies and moths. I just look for photos that seem to match and then read descriptions. It is a very slow and ineffective way to look.

I was working at photographing a piece of "art" that I am working on and this ant came to investigate. It seemed to like the piece as it spent quite a bit of time there. Something about the beeswax smell perhaps?

Shot this against the sky from a low and close angle. I am not quite finished with this sculpture/encaustic painting project but it's getting close.
