Mesmerized

    We were covered in sweat and soil and had spent almost an hour with the things before I convinced him to come in. But I just love his dreamy focus on animals. Any animals.

      Ah, more creepy crawlies. I can see how he would be facinated with the caterpillar. Makes me want to be a kid again.

      WOW!

    22. *iskandar (47 months ago | reply)

      omg so nice!arent they poisonous tho?

    23. khosey1 (47 months ago | reply)

      Thanks everyone!

      If you mean venomous as in biting, no, although they were trying to carve up our hands like they do to leaves. If you mean poisonous to eat, I think it depends on what they (the caterpillars themselves) eat, but my son's not planning on eating them, so I think we're OK!

    24. *iskandar (47 months ago | reply)

      i meant venomous, i heard they give your itch and stuff like that, ok maybe not jeopardizing but as an irritant lol

      either way,shes gorgeous

    25. khosey1 (47 months ago | reply)

      Nah. They walked all over both of us for ages and chewed on us. No itch.

      Given that our other resident critters lately are black widows, I'd even take a little itching!

      nice shot! i love the framing and dof!

      Fantastic details on the caterpillar - The DOF is great. The dreamy look in the eyes is fabulous... Do I see a bokeh of the pupil ?

      Great photo. This is priceless. A treasure for generations. I love the composition and DoF but the expression on his face is what really elevates this shot.
