as i was taking photos of people eating fast food for my photography project this evening, i came across this very special caterpillar: 

tomorrow: trip to brighton with mr. h!! :D i'm very looking forward to that. first, we stop at pooh corner, hartfield (the home of winnie pooh, http://www.pooh-country.co.uk) to play pooh-sticks. poohsticks is a game first mentioned in a winnie the pooh book by a. milne. it is a simple game which is played on any bridge over running water; each player drops a stick on the upstream side of a bridge and the one whose stick first appears on the downstream side is the winner.
