Pull Up a Seat: Coleman Says Let’s Ride … Vroom Vroom

Honda Goldwing
North Carolina Transportation Museum
Spencer, North Carolina, USA

This Honda Goldwing Coleman’s checking out is similar to one his maternal Pawpaw and I had back in the mid-1980’s shortly after we were married. His Pawpaw mostly road it to work, but we also rode it together when we could get his parents to watch our eldest son [he was four (Coleman’s age now) at the time]. We enjoyed riding it, however, we sold it when we moved from California to Arkansas. It’s too bad that Coleman won’t ever get the opportunity to go riding with his Pawpaw like his Uncles did so long ago.

NPC #13: Butterflies

All of the butterfly 🦋 photos I’ve captured so far were all taken within the grounds of Anne Springs Close Greenway. First photos are of Eastern Tiger Swallowtails shot with an iPhone 13 Pro.

Male tiger swallowtails are bright yellow with black tiger stripes on the tops of their wings. You can sometimes find groups of male swallowtail butterflies gathered on the ground around mud puddles or other damp spots. This is a behavior called puddling. The butterflies are sucking minerals and other substances out of the damp ground. (This behavior can be seen quite often at the spillway at Anne Springs Close Greenway.)

FOTD: December 3, 2022 – Viola

Haven’t traveled too far since Covid-19 lockdown, however, in early 2020 I visited relatives in Texas. While there I would walk around the neighborhood or wherever the opportunity arose.

I spotted these lovely flowers while walking around my Aunt’s neighborhood in Abilene, Texas. It was taken with the cell phone I had at the time, an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
