ABC Wednesday for M

ABC Wednesday is created by Denise Nesbitt. This week we are looking for words beginning with "M". Happily I got this time many "m"-s, even many triple "m"-s...like:

Midweek Morning Moth


Can you imagine, opening your eyes in the morning, looking out of the window - and...there is somebody who is looking in!?
Who are you - I asked - a miniature midweek messenger?
You have a miraculous mask...a little bit macabre (monstrous) and the same time funny and may-be even mesmerizing.
And not misty at all, even there is two layers of glass between us.
I went out to see it's backside.



What a marvellous material: so soft and hairy!
(Down there you see my hands with the camera...)
.
The beauty is mirroring itself: am I majestic enough?
We don't know what a mission it has,
may-be just migrating from point A to point B.
But don't move yet,
give me some
more memorable moments!
.

Edit: I thought it may match to Odd shot's too :)

Jane Hards Photography said...

Monumental M posting and certainly the most in one post.

Mara said...

That first shot is right scary! I wouldn't want to see him through the window. Yuk!

Janie said...

Magnificent moth photos! Your window glass must be really clean, he's so clear. His face does look a little monstrous in close-up.

Dragonstar said...

That moth is certainly looking at you! Lovely photos.
I went into the kitchen one morning and found a big snail climbing up the window - nowhere near as pretty as your moth, and it squeaked as it moved up the glass!

Joy said...

What a beautiful moth your pictures show every hair, wonderful. Nice contrast with the flashy butterfly in the previouse post.

Rena said...

Wow, great photos! Wonder what that moth thought as you took his picture!

It does look scary, the first one.

Fantastic photos / Fantastiska foton.
Nattfjärilar är spännande , tyvärr ser man dem sällan.

Jay said...

Oh, I do love moths, and those are great pictures! Well done!

On behalf of the team, thanks for taking part in ABC Wednesday this week! :)

Thank you all!

I must say that I'm proud of those pictures, but it was just a good oportunity, no work or search or waiting.
I used my 'idiot proof' point & shoot camera Olympos Stylus, super macro program.
I leaned the camera against the window so it stood steady, that's all.
Those pics are not manipulated - as brightness, contrast etc., but heavily cropped and changed in size and quality so they are nice only here, not attractive to steal (as many are afraid of their photos...).
The window was unwashed after the winter period, but as the house is in the forest it was still quite clean.

What a curious looking insect ! I've never seen a butterfly like that! You may have discovered a new species! Thanks for sharing and for your visit!

Meow back from Maia...how international our cats are!

Ooh, what a pretty moth! He looks like he is wearing a fur coat or wrap of some kind :) I especially like the third photo. But all of the photos here on your blog are gorgeous! And your Panda is a real cutie ;)

NoBS said...

What a handsome fellow! He looks a bit like a snowy owl!

Gypsy at heart said...

Momentary magic ....it's a mothful!

Rune Eide said...

A beauty indeed - so delicate and so sharp. Envious! :-)

What a cute furry fellow. I love the photo of your cat too btw.
