Shelter in Place, San Francisco, California
Walking down the path and past the Agapanthus last evening, I saw what I thought was a deformed flower until I got up close and realized it was both flower and a moth… no, two moths, back to back. I’m not sure of the mechanics around moth mating, but this couple, shall we say, was firmly stuck together and impervious to the wind.
They say the best camera is the one you have with you when opportunity strikes, and it turns out my phone was nearly adequate to the task and to the breeze that sent the subjects swinging. The focus isn’t perfect, but the light, symmetry and colors were a wonderful surprise. It’s a good reminder that, though it is easy to think our lives are on pause during these strange days, there is always some small, beautiful something just around the corner.
