well, as i am staring at this collection of wings and marveling at their aerodymanic precision, it occurs to me that i haven’t mentioned my previous career as an aerospace research engineer. yep, rocket scientist. nope, i am not joking. i did that for 15 years, and then quit to raise kids. i consider my recent creative activities a sort of third act. it is all very tentative. but so far I am enjoying my new wings.
assorted collection of insect wings (butterfly, dragonfly, beetle, moth, cicada, katydid)
wings are the most amazing things
Wow.
Enjoying my new wings would be a great book title (for a third act). Just saying
What a wonderful idea. Want to be my ghost writer? :-)

this looks like my shelf….bits and pieces of all winged creatures…cecropia moth, cicada, water bug, dragon flies, butterflies….and on and on
Oh goodness, what I would give to photograph that cecropia moth! I’m so glad you saw the Martha Stewart feature, and so glad to hear from a kindred spirit so close by (despite any Iowa jokes I may have heard as a lifetime Minnesotan…). I’m guessing we see a lot of the same creatures and events every year, just accelerated on your end in the spring, and delayed a bit in the fall. If you ever begin to photograph your collections, I’d love to see them.
