Bonnie, thanks for checking me out. I very much like your paintings. Glad you are sound after the Hurricane. Keep your head down and stay safe.

Such beautiful coloued caterpillars, looks like they’re all wearing their team football colous

Marian- love digital cameras, and this is my first good one.
Every day that I wake up and look out at this place, I think- ” who needs a TV,” and that I’m still amazed and dazzled.
Even with its’ trying moments which can happen anywhere, and do.

Hadn’t thought about painting one of those…hmmmm……

wr- I haven’t experienced an ” H ” since I’ve been here. We had a close call 4 years ago with Jeanne @ 90 mph winds but it was fine. The only thing I’d be painting if a big one comes, would be the inside of my esophagus with a large bottle of rum!

Gorgeous photos… Gosh I LOVE digital camera. I’m sure the hurricane was a pain, but you DO realize how absolutely wonderful the place where you live is don’t you. Of course your outlook and wonderful photos seem to bring EVERYTHING to lovely life!
I remember seeing worms like that in St. John, I think. And there are also those creatures (termites???) that create long mud tunnels that run down branches across paths and go from tree to tree. Nature is very strange and beautiful at the same time.
Are you going to paint a ‘piller?

Great photo of a worm orgy.

I like the little baby hurricane. When it grows up do you have a safe place to hunker down and paint worms in?

I feel so sorry for the poor caterpillars – turning into such dull gray moths. It’s like The Ugly Duckling in reverse. Nature can be so cruel! ;-(

Jo-Ann, you, too, live in a place with insects and unidentifiable creatures.
Yeah, but I guess you don’t go running out with your macro lens to shoot them and then feel compelled to actually touch one!

But don’t they make striking photo subjects?

Razz- I know what you’re feeling. We used to grow veggies when I first got here but it was a constant struggle to keep ahead of the varmints.
Beautiful shoots one day, stalks and stumps the next.
We wouldn’t use insecticides either so it made it a losing battle.
I know they have to eat too, but they decimate little bits of everything, making it all useless.
