I'm thinking I love moths. Never knew there are so many and so many beautiful moths. This one is lovely. I have what I think is a moth visiting me often, and it's beautiful. I at first thought it was a hummingbird, it's so lovely, wings look just like a hummer and it hovers around plants. It's red and blue, wings I think. Body is black maybe? I've been looking for it online, but knowing you folks, I'm sure you have a good idea what it is. Let me know what you think.
also, I spent some time last night with my phone looking at my not zoomed in birds I want to send you. I found I can make them larger, zoom just like you do when you want to read larger print????? DUH!!!! Now, I just need to figure out how to make it stayed zoomed in, save and store it and send to you! I'll get there.....
We've just had a strong storm come through, lost the electricity for an hour or so and now all clear and lovely. Actually, I love the rain and storm, but do prefer having lights and electricity. And, I'm all electric, so no cooking either.
Be well everyone and enjoy your window view. AND, help me identify that moth! Oh, I have a rose finch! How lovely....a couple of them, both raspberry color. They've visited about a week but I just found them in one of my books and online.
Blessings everyone. elizabeth
@ess77 you certainly have no shortage of entertainment outside your window! I’d love to see all your birds.
I do believe the moth you’re seeing is a Sphinx moth, also called hummingbird moths. There are several varieties but they’re all a Sphinx moth. They’re really pretty. We have several that frequent the flowers on our deck. I remember the first time I ever saw one. It sure looked like a hummer but I knew it wasn’t.
Regarding the photos on your phone, either an android or an iPhone. I know both have basic editing options for their photos. Just click on the photo you want. Touch Edit and a small frame or cropping tool will show up. Just ‘frame’ the area you are interested in and click Done. It will crop the photo and enlarge the smaller area you targeted.
Then you can easily post that to the Connect site. Once the photo is posted whoever sees it can touch on the picture and it will enlarge in the Connect site. All of the photos you see on Connect are now small because with the new format launched a few months ago. But all we have to do is double click the photo and it will enlarge to full screen. Does that help you?
