Haven’t a clue as to his identity, but the curled ‘tail’ is decidedly cute, even if his head is exceedingly, indeed unfortunately ugly.
We always have these little white and black furry caterpillars on the porch, no clue with their identity either. If anyone knows of a good Caterpillar ID guide, I’d love the reference.

‘Closed Canopy’ Wednesday, Aug 14 2013

Technically, in a forest a fully mature stand is referred to as having a ‘closed canopy’: the tree has grown together and there is no open sky. If viewed from above the two big oaks and the cucumber magnolia have a closed canopy. You won’t see the north lawn in the summer from above no matter what you do. However, trees like their space, they compete, they quarrel, and they do not happily share. You can see the dividing line quite nicely in this photo, looking straight up: the magnolia is the left side, the oak the right (the third oak has a bit of the top left as well)

I know, an overly grandiose title for a picture that I could Not get to work. Still, the empty room (which won’t stay empty, but that is what it is) does put me in mind of Wyeth’s work.

That is the peach tree with the lettuce box in center of the photo. Our chimney swift colony lives in the chimney which is in the center, a good location for them!
