May 1: Honeysuckle & an inchworm
May. 1st, 2010 10:28 pmThe blackberry blossoms, which seemed especially abundant this year, are dropping, and today for the first time I noticed (and smelled) honeysuckle blooming.

While sitting on my couch doing some writing, I looked out to the balcony and noticed an inchworm hovering in the air, a dark "twig" against the lighter background of green trees in the distance. It was suspended from the eaves by an invisible thread, swooping back and forth in the breeze, lowering itself by jerks of about an inch at a time.
