Onondaga State Park Leasburg, Missouri | September 2020 I love to hike, but finding someone who is willing to slow down and stop for photographs along the way can be a challenge. Then I met a fellow hiker who shared my curiosity for discovering interesting rocks and hidden treasures along the trail. We quickly became the perfect hiking companions. It took us two hours to go just one mile because we stopped so often to explore, admire, and capture the world around us. If it weren’t for her, I never would have noticed this little guy waiting for us along the trail. (Spicebush Swallowtail Caterpillar)
