Description

Have a wonderful day, friends!! Sorry for the delay in commenting!! My great neighbor let me know that there were several, quite late caterpillars, on the milkweed in her garden. So. I guess summer isn't over yet. Yeah!!

Super macro capture Ellen, the detail and color are fantastic, well done.
Feels very fall like here this morning, but it has been very warm and nice here all summer. People swimming in lake Huron yesterday which is pretty unusual for this time of year. #1408270

Wonderful angle of the stem contrasting with the shape of the caterpillar. The bold, bright colour of this critter pops against the green DOF.
Killer frost last night took out a lot of my garden. Time for cleanup ugh. #9671095
