These aren't very clear, but I love the effect. They are also from a couple of months ago.

Damn it, those cables are a pain for anyone who wants to take a good photo - anywhere in the world! >:(

That's a great scene, Andy. Thanks for sharing it wish us. :)

Hey, thank you! Winter is the reason I stay in Vermont. I lived in Maine for fifteen years (until it got warmer there, laughing). I have to live way up north, otherwise I'm miserable.

He was actually slightly smaller than my hand (granted, I'm not Rachmaninoff, but...)

What you have here, I believe, is a Polyphemus Moth (Antheraea polyphemus).  More here:

Thanks, that is it. What an interesting creature. It's funny that they're called Polyphemus moths — If I remember correctly, Polyphemus was the cyclopian son of Poseidon in The Odyssey, whereas the moth has several eyes. ;D
