That lens is beautiful, and I am amazed by the picture you managed of that bird.

I'm also glad that you've got someone to take over the books. **HUGS**

Cropped or zoom lens or both, that is one amazing picture.

This is bittersweet at the least, but I'm glad you can be happy about your books and website outliving you.

Will I someday be remembered for my part in keeping the Georgist movement going? To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late . . .

That sounds like a nice outing. The "woolly bear" appears to be a Spotted Tussock Moth caterpillar. The bird is probably a Fox Sparrow.

I'm glad to hear that you're making arrangements for your books. I've enjoyed them.

I happened to recognize the caterpillar as one I've seen before, so looking it up was pretty easy. I have a very nice guide to the caterpillars of eastern North America, which is helpful here, but less so where you are.
