The Pasque flower is not the only hairy beauty in our area 😉 I was really happy to come across this hairy chap on a very unsatisfactory morning earlier this month. The sun rose behind clouds, there were hardly any butterflies around and I actually was on my way back to the car when I spotted this little chap: the caterpillar of a Grass eggar (Lasiocampa trifolii). I carefully settled down and was amazed when I noticed through the viewfinder that he turned his head as if he was looking at me! Well, he kept this position for more than 15 minutes so I’m sure he did not feel disturbed at all by my presence. What a great “hairy” moment 😉
Hello, I’m Sandra – a passionate landscape photographer and solo globetrotter. In this blog I show my best landscape, nature and travel photos which have been taken during my travels around the world. I shared my passion for travel and photography with my late husband Gerd until 2018, whom I now take with me in my heart to every place I visit. Please also view my trip reports on my website Sandra Schänzer travelogues and photo galleries.
Hi Sandra,

Shabbat Shalom and All the Best,
