Description
Wildflowers are beautiful and important to keeping our Earth alive and healthy. This Queen Anne's Lace, ( a member of the carrot family) is growing in my wild backyard that seems most like a prairie at times than a garden. There are times when it is hard for me to resist pulling thistle and making things a bit more neat and tidy...but then I think of my little friends and make myself go inside to clean!
And these are my rewards for my kind of backwards self-restraint! I found this little guy clinging to one of those Queen Anne's Lace plants. It was late in the afternoon and I was late to be somewhere else! . . . but since I was already late, I ran in and got my camera to get just a few shots. Isn't this such a beautiful creature? The Creator of all is truly a loving artist...giving special care and attention to even the least of these! . . . a lowly little caterpillar; splashed with lovely color and pattern. I am so thankful for that love that envelopes us and holds each and every one of us in Love.
I really appreciate you taking time to look at my artwork. Thank you so much!
I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!

Beautiful, clean composition, with vibrant colours...just the right amount of black and yellow for contrast against the green :) l/f

Funny thing, I was picking a weed and just happened to look up to see this little guy on a Queen Anne's Lace (which I do not consider a weed!) Thanks, Cindy

A most wonderful, wonderful art-photo. Top Class ! And, if this caterpillar can turn into a beautiful butterfly - then, maybe, perhaps one day, months, years from now - Trump could per chance turn into a proper leader. :-)
