When I first saw this week's challenge from Sunday Stills - Go High, Go Low, I thought of our trip to Arizona this past December. I think this photo definitely qualifies for the "Go High" part of the directive.
But I think that would technically be cheating since I didn't take the photo this past week.
I did a lot of traveling for work this past week, but there wasn't a whole lot of time for photos in between meetings. On Friday we spent the afternoon examining an area in Chicago for gypsy moth egg masses. This photo has several egg masses (which will hatch later this spring) as well as a pupal casing from last summer (that's what the moth emerges from). Gypsy moth larvae can cause severe defoliation of trees in areas where there are high populations. How's that for a little scientific lesson incorporated into Sunday Stills?

I love the gypsy moth shot...and thanks for the lesson :)
Great science lesson :) Love the Grand Canyon picture. Beautiful.
Mine is up at http://photofoolflo.blogspot.com
The Grand Canyon is so beautiful.
I didn't know that's what gypsy moth eggs looked like. Thanks for the lesson.
Beautiful shot of the Grand Canyon...definitely high!! :)
The canyon shot is deffinatly high, and love the moth shot...
Thanks for the lesson in Science! I am a total science geek! Love it!!!!!! Your photos are great! Love the Grand Canyon, it's totally awesome!
The Grand Canyon shot is beautiful! Thanks for the Gypsy Moth lesson:)
Evil, evil, Gypsy Moths (we have them, too) but have never looked for egg masses. Now I don't have to.
Us too in Oregon...lots of problems with Gypsy Moths...nasty buggers.
Beautiful shot of the Grand Canyon!
Thank-you for the science - I can say I learned something today!
