The theme for the week's Photo Hunt is numerical.I had no idea what to put up for this theme so I had to strewth (as I imagine many will this week!) Today I tried out my new macro lens on another Toadflax brocade moth caterpillar (we had them first a couple of months ago and saw a moth last month).. well there was one of them and it looks a little like a number one....

Photo Hunt - Numerical

what a gorgeous choice for the hunt. FULL of beautiful color!
ReplyDeleteHe does look like a colorful and ornate number one. Beautiful caterpillar. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteand i was thinking also that the metamorphosis from caterpillar to eventual butterfly is a step by step process, a numerical sequence of sorts, so this week's entry of yours is quite on the money too =]
ReplyDeleteand speaking of money...
What a great photo of a beautiful creepy crawly. Love your spin on this tough theme!
ReplyDeleteHope your leg is feeling better.
What a great caterpillar!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like the number one !
ReplyDeleteHappy hunting!
Thanks. It was the first uce of a new macro lens. The old one was excellent but focussing was slow and the lens extended which caused problems with some subjects
ReplyDeleteGreat pic, and a creative take on this difficult theme :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of both the caterpillar and the flower.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture but only a number 1 if the writer had been imbibing.
ReplyDeleteHi Jams --
ReplyDeleteYou're not alone in being this creative... In particular, a few months ago here in Hong Kong, there was a photography exhibition with plenty of photos on that theme (of seeing numerals in nature and such)! ;b

great shot..love the colours., and yes, it does look number 1.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend! :)
Beautiful shot and somewhat numerical.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a wonderful shot! It looks like #1 really.. :)
ReplyDeleteWhoa.. that's one huge caterpillar! Surprisingly, I have not seen this species before. I'll get lots of hairy ones over here. :P

Great photo! You caught the caterpillar in all its fine detail and potential yumminess! (I love moths, I imagine their caterpillars would be even tastier.)
ReplyDeleteAll your own work - gosh, I'd never realized that. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteA great idea! I bet when it metamorphosis into a butterfly, the color must be so beautiful.
ReplyDeletevery creative idea and what a lovely creepy crawlie.
ReplyDeleteA boldly coloured caterpillar! A very clever symbol of the number one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours! Your entry is open to a lot of interpretations indeed.

Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteStunning colours. I was looking at the markings as being a bit like a bar code!
ReplyDeleteNice one!
ReplyDeleteperfect for the theme!

see you!
good thought!! from your stewing:) and such a bright pretty colored fellow isn't he?
ReplyDeleteYou shoot such glorious photos.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant photo Jams, whatever the theme. He's pretty gorgeous but no doubt also destructive of your greenery.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you.
Now THAT was clever!!
ReplyDeleteOur Daddy is looking for a new macro lens for his camera....we'd better not show him this cool shot!

wow this is an amazing capture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning photo! I'm back, for now,.... it's been way too long!! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly does look like number one. Very clever interpretation. :)
ReplyDeleteI like it! I think the pattern could be related to Fibonacci which is numerical through and through.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot - I think I'm going to have to get one of those lenses! This week's theme was HARD! You managed with your usual style. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Did you try to count the number of yellow stripes? Right now, in school we have monarch caterpillera. I wonder if I should get the kids to count the stripes since they are learning to count 100.
