Fabulous pictures, Shannon, all of them!
I also think caterpillars are adorable, even while they're eating my veggie garden!!

Re: The Nature Photography Thread

Thanks for the id on her. I see them on occasion, but this was by far the biggest. She had been living in an old torn horse blanket that I'd had thrown over the fence-- had never gotten around to tossing it out, it's been there for months. Today when I pulled it down and shook it out, she came out. Must have been a great place for her to live and eat! So I disturbed her home but I'm sure she'll find somewhere else to live.

Shanley, seriously, I had the most abject fear of spiders. I used to just get cold and FREAKED inside when I saw them. But having Tati has really changed my perspective for some reason.
