Bokeh Thursday: Inchworm

Bokeh Thursday: Inchworm
3 pictures above in notes! ENJOY!

When I found out the weekly challenge was "Measurements", I had fun thinking about what I should take pictures of. Then, I went to take care of my caterpillars and it hit me! I sang out loud to my big, fat, fluffy caterpillars, "Inchworm... Inchworm... measuring the Marigold... you and your arithmetic... you'll probably go far..." All night long I was humming that song! :D

This morning I found a caterpillar that was an inch long and used him as a model on my ruler! Then, I took him outside an placed him on one of my Marigold seedlings and he measured the stem for me... 1" long! :D (see the inset picture!)

If you'd like to see the video from "Hans Christian Andersen", it's just wonderful and features Danny Kaye singing "Inchworm"...ENJOY!!! :D "Inchworm" from "Hans Christian Andersen"

(I have two other picks for Bokeh Thursday in the next images! :)

This is exceptional..........quite apart from the spot-on focus and depth of field, which is a given for your macro work, this is quite simply a really fun shot and it made me smile :) Well thought out and captured.

My absolute fav of the series! This is just soooo cool! The caterpillar AND ruler look so perfect. I wonder though if it is still called an inchworm in metric countries.
