It's been raining for several days now. Last weekend was cloudy but we got out for some adventures. On Saturday we crossed the mountains for Hardy County Heritage Days and then in the evening we drove in the other direction to Professor Poland's home in Chantilly for a reunion picnic of his long-running Civil War Field Trips. Then on Sunday we went to some Farm Tour events in Rappahannock County. That's where I photographed this caterpillar.
With luck this little critter will turn into a butterfly.
Speaking of butterflies, I have some pictures of butterflies I took this summer. They are feeding on milkweed, which is not the most ornamental plant but which is now being appreciated because it attracts butterflies.
By the way, the heavy rains today did not keep us from going out to events. We went to Millwood for Art at the Mill and also visited two other art shows nearby.

Hello Linda!:) You have been busy, and taken some wonderful shots. I love the colourful caterpillar, and the gliders.
ReplyDeletewhich are my favourite butterflies.

That caterpillar is beautiful just as it is but I bet when it turns into a butterfly it will be breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteAwesome outings! Love the caterpillar and butterfly. I have three caterpillars of the Great Swallowtail on my tiny little lemon tree right now and I am watching them like hawks so they don't strip it of all its leaves...hoping to see chrysallis soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty caterpillar. Nice shots of the butterflies too.
ReplyDeleteThe butterflies are pretty, and the caterpillar's so colourful!
