Caution, Caterpillar Crossing

Outside the home where lived Grace (before she passed away) and nearby where once crouched Champagne, chalked caution and watch out warnings seek to raise caterpillar awareness. Both putty-tats appeared in my “Cats of University Heights” series—in April 2018 and February 2021, respectively.

The husband and wife who own the property tend flowers and flora that attract butterflies and caterpillars. I often see Monarchs fluttering about. Spring—or in San Diego three-season parlance, early Summer—is breeding and feeding time.  So, please, be mindful where you step.

I used Leica Q2 to capture the Featured Image, today. I took several shots 10 days earlier, but the chalk was too much faded from elements exposure and trampling. Vitals, aperture manually set: f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/320 sec, 28mm; 9:27 a.m. PDT.
