Mother Nature's Son Has Moved!

Mother Nature's Son has moved! I will not be posting to this site anymore.

You can find the new site here: http://mother-natures-son.com

All the old posts have been moved there.

Why the move? I've been doing the blog now for almost three years and while it was nice to get started for free on Blogger, I found the tool a bit limiting.

I bought my own domain and am using Wordpress to write the new blog. For now, I plan to mainly use it for the blog, but I may expand the site in the future.

I hope my readers will visit me at the new site! Please leave comments and let me know what you think about the new site or if you have any suggestions for improving it.

Thanks!

Hazy Shade Of Winter

My hike today was pretty easy. Although it's already early December, it has yet to get really cold. The high today was in the 80s. The official start of winter is still 3 weeks away, on December 21st, but from where we are today, I'm not sure it's ever going to arrive.

Although the sky was overcast when I set out, one hour later the sun was popping out. Most life is going dormant but there is always some activity.

I spotted this small woolly caterpillar because I nearly stepped on him. I've posted about this species before and I now think it's a tiger moth caterpillar, but I'm not positive. There quite common during some years, but this year I've only seen this one.

I also saw this small bagworm cocoon. These are really hard to spot, because they're small and usually in a tree or bush. I also found one earlier this year.

There is still some fall color showing. This time, it's yellow grapevine leaves.
