I took my camera out after work a few days ago to document the pipevine swallowtail caterpillars on the pipevine. It was a cloudy, rainy day (like most days recently), so I snapped one shot of a caterpillar against the clouds. I rather liked the way the insect is silhouetted against the white sky:

It was fun to get a white box style shot in nature, so I think I’m going to try to do some more of these!
