I can always trust my young boys to find interesting small subjects to photograph. This caterpillar was found on a brick lamppost under a Sitka Spruce at the end of our driveway two summers ago. (Western Tussock Moth: Orgyia vetusta, formerly Hemerocampa vetusta).

taken in northern Ontario almost a full frame image a bit of crop on left side
There pretty easy to get close too up there not encountering man much
When shrieked
The bleak November winds, and smote the woods,
And the brown fields were herbless, and the shades
That met above the merry rivulet
Were spoiled, I sought, I loved them still; they seemed
Like old companions in adversity.
-- William Cullen Bryant
Colorado spruce tree plants are evergreen trees and grouped with the conifers. They are members of the pine family. The Colorado Blue Spruce's silvery-blue needles are prickly to the touch and have a strong, fresh, piney smell. Its pyramidal shape, foliage color, and wonderful smell make this plant a classic choice for a Christmas tree. 🎄 The species plant is native to the Rocky Mountain states in the United States.
It is in its upper reaches that a spruce explains itself. This is all I wanted of this fine one on a dark day with a foggy hillside for backdrop.

Bright and long days and the sun has got some power to heat the air in the shelter of the wood, while the wind is biting cold and the frost is written in 2 digit figures, - It will be spring one day ...
Yesterday all the trees, seeds, and buds were encased in ice. Today this beauty is melting. This spruce branch with its buds looks like a flower.
Thanks For Visiting 🌷
A fun find in Algonquin Park last weekend. She had a few chicks with her that were somewhat hidden in the long grass.
