Look closely - that random assortment of detritus on top of the grey headed coneflower is a camouflaged looper caterpillar who has decorated himself to escape detection! They glue bits of plant to their bodies with their own spit as they munch along, changing pieces when the colors of their surroundings change as they move from flower to flower. Utterly amazing!
I knit my batt up right away and made this really awesome Twisted scarf from "Knitting New Scarves" by Lynne Barr. The construction was really fun to knit on US 10.5 needles.

Stairs along the Navajo Loop Trail in Bryce Canyon National Park. The sun finally broke through the overcast skies on my first day in Bryce, giving the slot section of the Navajo Loop an amazing glow.

The Silver Falls Loop is a notable trail in Mt. Rainier National Park. Aside from the falls and river, it features a traverse of a wonderful forest.
Three consecutive stainless steel bicycle parking racks in the shape of a loop-the-loop found on Hurtle Square.
Since I have a few days to spare before departing Europe and my next appointment, I made a wish-list of places that would be neat to visit.
High up on the list was the metre-gauge Rhaetian Railway of Graubünden canton in southeast Switzerland, with its clean red rolling stock and wild scenery.
One of many ridiculously photogenic, model-railwayesque, 'must see' spots is the Brusio viaduct, part of an incredibly steep line over the Bernina Pass that will keep you highly amused for a few hours. Even if you don't come to take pictures, the section between St Moritz and Brusio is one of the most impressive rail journeys around. Perhaps 'the' most impressive if you catch some sun and snow about. (The Italian town of Tirano is only another few km down the line.) Minimum radius is 45 metres (148 feet) and max grade is 7% (something like 1 in 14.5 if my googling is accurate) - all normal adhesion with no cogs. This section is UNESCO listed, and appears on Google streetview.
Here, one of the grunty Allegra railcars and five attached passenger cars swing up the Brusio Viaduct with a St. Moritz-bound train.
Considerable gardening and resultant personal bloodletting was required to poke a suitable sized hole in the trees up here. It looks like there might have been a potentially easier path but, there you have it. This is 11:20am, and with a few stops for pictures, it took me two and a half hours to walk back down to Brusio station.

View upon the Elbe River and Königstein, a German town located in the Saxon Switzerland. The mountain visible in the distance is the table mountain Lilienstein. Panoramic image resulting from 6 merged single shots taken in october 2012 after early snowfall in this region of Germany.
A series of images taken yesterday at the Nottingham’s water sports centre
where the International Freestyle canoe world championships are being held this week.
The event is free for spectators to attend and yesterday I was welcomed into the events
official photographers’ enclosure, so I made the most of my opportunity, hence six images
And there may be more to follow this coming week.

Soybean Looper (Chrysodeixis includens) – Hodges#8890
These moths were all over the flowers at Cape May Point State Park and the Meadows. Despite their numbers, they were pretty difficult to photograph since they rarely stopped moving for long and tended to hover for nectaring rather than land.

With 40 loads in town, the Port Harbor Job rolls around one the two different loops that the railroad uses to shuffle cars around the Port. This was part of a 70 unit grain train that was delivered to the PHRR to be unloaded here in Granite City and transferred to barge, which is right behind me. The crew ill pull clear of two crossings, tie the 2758 down and then head back to the shop area to grab the MP15 number 1296 to spot the other cut.
