out
in the field
this week
finding,
tagging,
and
GPS-ing
the lucky
trees
in the
forests
of maryland
that i will
collect
caterpillars
from
all summer.
it's nice
to be
in the field
again.
i forget
how lucky
i am to be
paid to do this
{however little}.
lots of cool
things
out to
look at
(in addition
to caterpillars
of course)
tulip poplar
blooms
toads

look closer...
baby bugs
are
a-hatching
and this?
a tiny
grasshopper!
and
reflections
in the stream
this summer
i will try not
to bore
you with
my research
but
i think
i will feature
favorite
caterpillar
of the week...
would you
like that?
. . . . .

And your photo booth shots should be to the tune of that old Cockney tune "I've got a love-erly bunch of coconuts" .. hope that doesn't get lost in cross-cultural translation ;)

i would really love caterpillar of the week. the photos from your time in the woods are great... the baby bugs hatching, incredible!
and i heart those felted bowls.
Firstly, I love your green skirt and matching toe nails :) you can't let the details get past me. Loving your buckle ring (I adore anything with buckles on them...) The photograph with baby bugs is amazing and lastly but not least, the felted bowls are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing such a fun-filled post.
Did you come up with the bowl pattern yourself, or use someone else's? They are so pretty.
I'm with Gracia on this post. I've fallen for it all...
You have such a fabulous job - and I love the reflection photo - and I would love the bowl pattern.

that photo of the leaves reflecting in the stream is amazing. if you ever want to get rid of it, you know where to find me.
Wow, that ring is awesome. Where did youfind it? And the green toenails are cool too.
i can't wait for the catepillar a week.
and those bowls are gorgeous. just perfect.
Hi Bugheart ~ I'm Wendee and I live across the street from your brother (Joe) in Seattle. I think we might have met at his gallery opening a few months back. Was that you? Is there more than one sister? I'm having a great time perusing your blog! Thanks for sharing!
(PS - I found you through SewGreen - that's where Joe sent me - he said to look for the person who loves bugs :)
Felt and bugs - its heaven here :)
Very cool felted bowls. Another thing to add to my list of "must try"!
favorite caterpillar yesyesyes!
i am not bored with hearing about your research and hope to hear more about caterpillar collecting! i love the bug photos!
the felted bowls are gorgeous.
As always you are too stylish! I of course dear felt friend love the bowls. Now all we need to do is work out how we can eat out of them and life would be complete...
