A Simple Hunger


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   A Simple Hunger
A Simple Hunger
In our complicated world, there is very little that is truly simple. For the caterpillar, what is simple is hunger, eating, and growing. LOL

Oops, data missing at the moment. This was taken outdoors in natural light, full sun, and I played with it just a bit in PS, will supply data later I hope. Taken with point and shoot. (Which generally takes nice macros)

  Thank you to Tammy, Kerby, Susam Judy, Jessica, Kate, Sandy, Bianca, Amalia, ROnald, Kay, Tracy, Colette, Jenny, Ermanno, Goshka, Melissa, Jill, and Donna for your time, attention, and kind comments. Luckily this sweet beast with its long migration ahead was not in my garden. I found it on a walk in the neighborhood. I walk every day and almost aways find soemthing of interest.

  Thank you to Jill, Dan, LJ, Kay, Jenny, Agnes and Amalia for your congratualtions and kind words and all the other people who have left kind comments on this and on my other photos. I was totally taken by surprise since I'd never won anything before. I was about to undisply one of the winners when I saw to my amazement the silver finalist medallion. I hadn't seen an email about it yet. Imagine my surprise! So I think you again for your kind words and your time! :-)
