September Theme Day - Sister Cities

The Olive Garden Restaurant


Today's theme is to post a sister city of your town. Since I don’t have a sister city for Bellefonte, I decided to just choose one. I chose Allentown, PA which is about a three hour drive from me.
The lists of sister city for PA can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sister_cities_in_Pennsylvania

Here it explains about sister cities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_twinning Sister cities description and To read more about the description of how a sister city works http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Cities_International

Allentown, PA is a sister city to Vinci, Italy where Leonardo da Vinci was born on 15April 1452. You can read more about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinci%2C_Italy

I decided to show you both flags of the United States and Italy.

Sky Watch Friday -Sky/Creek Shadow

Wasn't sure which one to post, so thought I'd post both. This is at Tallyrand Park. You can see the sky shadow. I think the stones were left in there from an old bridge. Thought it looked kind of eery.

(Just an FYI: I might not be able to reply for a few days, but I will check out your photo when I can get back online. Probably Sunday. I have posts set on auto till then.)

Camera Critters - Hummingbird Clearwing-Sphinx Moth

I've never seen these before until I planted my butterfly bush. Which, the butterfly bush is doing it's job. I've seen a yellow, brown and an orange butterfly now on it. I will post those photos later. They say that most people will mistake these moths for either a hummingbird or a bumble bee. I said the same thing. It's a cross between a hummingbird because they suck nectar out of the plant like they'd do, although they are small but a little bigger than a bumble bee and kind of look like one. I've found out through the Internet, they are called Hummingbird Clearwing. There are variations. I think mine is called the Sphinx Moth. To see more and clearer photos, click on the link after these photos. The site goes into more detail and they have close up photos. It was hard for me to get a really good photo of them.
