Caterpillars in the garden…

This year has been pretty awesome for caterpillars in the garden. Lucky as I haven’t been out much this year (obviously), but no matter, nature came to me.

Partly I think because I seem to have planted well last year. Planning lots of nasturtiums and getting a couple of fruit plants – gooseberry and blueberry.

Although not much on the fruit, they seem to have attracted a new guest. And one I had not seen before. As it was hairy, I know not to touch! I also have captured a number of moths and butterflies this year which will get their own post. Not as many butterflies as last year for variety, but plenty of large and small whites on the nasturtiums.

Maya in motion…

I love trying to get photographs of my dog, she doesn’t make it easy by any stretch. If I am taking pictures of something else, she gives me space. But when we are playing outside and she becomes the subject, she either looks away, moves, or runs towards me. So just after I throw the ball and just before she reaches me are my moments of opportunity. Here are a few of our recent shots…
