This caterpillar was at the Wings of Fancy butterfly exhibit just outside Washington, DC. Soon this caterpillar will transform into a butterfly. I thought the colors on this little guy were very unique.
I love caterpillars. Almost more than butterflies! I found this fine fuzzy fellow in my yard, and was thrilled! I picked him up carefully, and brought him in the house to show my husband. Strangely, he did not seem to share my enthusiasm. So I took the little guy (caterpillar, not husband!) back out into the yard for a few photo ops. I carefully put him on several different plants and bushes, snapping photos all the while. Then I came back inside and googled the creature. To my shock and dismay, this is what I discovered: "Beware of hairy yellow caterpillars with black spikes. They are American dagger moths that have have toxic properties when hairs are touched." The toxin can cause hives and/or an ugly rash!! Yikes! My fuzzy friend is no longer a friend....

This little straggler was trying to catch up to Mama duck when I captured the fuzzball with my shutter :))
Another fuzzy pose from Yuba on the futon last night. Bonkers is right behind Yuba, which is unusual as they are rivals and try to stay away from each other.
Folks say you can predict the coldness of the coming winter by the fuzziness of the caterpillars (fuzzier caterpillars = colder winter). We may be in for a cold one this year!
I seem to have started a caterpillar series this autumn. I may have to search out more of these little cuties:)

Fuzzy Wuzzy was the term used by British colonial soldiers for the nineteenth century Hadendoa warriors supporting the Sudanese Mahdi. The name "Fuzzy Wuzzy" may be purely English in origin, or it may incorporate some sort of Arabic pun (possibly based on ghazī, "warrior"). It alludes to their butter-matted hair which gave them a "fuzzy" look. Fuzzy Wuzzies are remembered today primarily for a popular English children's rhyme, and for a poem~
by Rudyard Kipling.

My wife pointed out this bit of spring growth and thought they were pussy willows. I can't honestly say I know much about plants so we talked about it in terms I could understand - hence the "fuzzy thingies." I've seen pussy willows before, of course, but never noticed them like this. I think they are called catkins - something else I've never heard of before. It's always interesting what you can find out when you take a picture of something new. Remembering it all will be another challenge.
A great horned owlet trying to fit in on the branch with its siblings! This photo was taken in New York!
I found this fuzzy looking Cottonwood Tree at the beginning of the hike into Little Wildhorse Canyon, near Goblin Valley. The shape and color of the tree stood in great contrast to the clear blue sky in the background.

I'm exploring ways to make a photo look like a painting and ways to extract an abstract from a photo.
