The bluebonnets are going to seed, but there are plenty of other wildflowers bursting onto the scene. And the entire park is perfumed with honeysuckle. Below, another one of the weird caterpillars I keep finding: dying or transforming? Hard to tell.

You must love your walks! The wildflowers have been amazing this year. Someone just posted that the slimy/melting caterpillars are caused by a virus. Mother Nature's way of controlling them I guess. There sure are a lot of them this year.
I thought the slimy melting caterpillar was melting b/c of the BT that I sprayed. It's a virus?!
A virus! Well, I'm relieved that the dill in my garden that they were dying on wasn't somehow doused in pesticide (I try to run an organic ship), but I was hoping for some butterflies/moths from the foraging.
And I do love my morning walks with the dog! So much to see this time of year.
