So the family and I went out to Fort Gibson, OK yesterday, it's about an hour's drive or so away from where we live. I forgot to take my camera, for which I have been kicking myself mentally since we got far enough away from the house to make getting it not feasible.
I had so many opportunities for such great pictures - there were civil war reinactors at the fort - actually staying in the fort itself in full uniform.
There were such great architectural things - the chink between the logs, the cannon, the great grassy plains, the buildings, the sky itself, rolling first with storm clouds only to have the sun come out in brilliant colours as the sun set.
The cecropia moth
[link] that had emerged from its cocoon and lay resting tenuously on the grave marker of a young man in the National Veterans Cemetary... I remember learning about them as a child - how they are the largest North American moth, and how fascinated I had been by them and to finally see a live one, newly stretching its wings...
So now I must file these images away in my mind, and desperately remember to take my camera with me always.
This is me...
