NB: My bicycle is called Wynora Rider.
The skies are still blue but I have relented and I am wearing now long pants and shoes with socks. Summer doesn’t stay forever.


Since I’ve bought Wynora about three and a half years ago we’ve done well over 7000 km together. Our car feels rather neglected and I rarely use it around town. I drive with Wynora even in winter unless is raining hard or the roads are slick. We definitely have an everyday if somewhat mundane relationship.

There I was trying to photograph these blue flowers, a variety of plumbago, when an orangey brown thick something crossed my lens.
The thick moth was a hummingbird hawk-moth. I only ever saw one once before, at the time thinking I had spotted a hummingbird (which do not live in the wild in Europe). So this new chance encounter was very lucky. I had no time to adjust my shutter speed and just kept clicking.

Reviewing the photos on my bigger screen at home, I was very gratified to see that I had managed to capture at least a recognisable hawk-moth.

They are really too late in the year. I enjoy the temperatures but with a guilty conscience – it shouldn’t be that warm.
