Unicorn Caterpillar at Governor Bridge

This was a real Maryland July day;hot, humid and sunny. I didn’t want to go too far, so I tried Governor Bridge, which was actually pretty slow.
I saw very little new, but the caterpillar made up for it.

“NATURE is what we see,
The Hill, the Afternoon—
Squirrel, Eclipse, the Bumble-bee,
Nay—Nature is Heaven.

Nature is what we hear,
The Bobolink, the Sea—
Thunder, the Cricket—
Nay,—Nature is Harmony.

Nature is what we know
But have no art to say,
So impotent our wisdom is
To Her simplicity.”

Emily Dickinson
