caterpillar - 08:36 AM
this would have to be one of the best pictures i've ever taken. it was pretty much a total fluke. i just put the camera on the macro setting, pointed it, framed it & pressed the button.
the caterpillar was on an oleander which we'd bought ready to put into the garden, but which was still in its pot. when i saw a few of them crawling over the plant, i expressed displeasure to shroom, because i thought it was bad for the plant, but shroom just said, "they're okay. they're just doing what caterpillars do." good point.
so we left them there & they eventually turned into butterflies. we brought the pot, with plant & chrysalises (chrysalii?) into the house & pointed one of the webcams at it. we managed to capture one of the butterflies coming out. it was pretty amazing. 
hi. found your blog through mommietalk.com
just wanted to mention that Oleanders are deadly poisonous. We have the EVERYWHERE here in Northern Calfornia. It's basically the blooms... so don't like the cutie pie get around them and try to eat them!!! I wouldn't have said anything... 'cept being a mom tooo.. it's kinda hard not to want to... you know. anyways. I'm enjoying your blog. You have a very pleasant personality!!!
Thank you so much for providing me with this photo. It put a fantastic touch to my analogy I wrote for a kids.us website. You can see how it is being used here.
Warm regards,
Steve
