Photo of the Day: October 21

Remember about a month ago, we found this super cool looking caterpillar?
September 14

Well, we only had it for a couple days before it transformed into this ...
October 21 - Chrysalis
ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/60s, 18-55mm lens on Nikon D40 - Shadowhouse Creations texture added


And there it remains.  I suspect it will be like this until Spring when it emerges as a gorgeous butterfly.  At least we're hoping!

Some Things About Yellow ...

Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness.

Photo of the Day: July 8

July 8
ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/640s, 18-55mm lens w/10x macro filter
We finally got some much-needed rain today.  Not nearly enough to make up for the deficit we have with all this hot, dry weather, but every little bit helps.  At least we won't have to water the garden and flowers today.
