Easily amused

I recently purchased a new camera. I got last year's Sony H20. It's different from the other Sony camera I had so I'm still getting used to it.
I love the zoom.
I am easily amused. I spent quite a while today taking pictures of an inchworm that hitched a ride on my shoulder while I was out working in the yard.
I enjoyed watching him through the zoom lens. I assume it's a he, I don't know for sure. I didn't zoom into that area, plus I don't know how you tell on an inch worm.
They're really very cute. I've always loved inchworms, but I've only seen a handful in my lifetime. Sean held it for a while and I took a few pictures, then I brought it to my desk/office area and started shooting away.
If you look closely you can sort of see his little antennae in this one.

He hung out on my finger for a long time.


Then he was on the move again. He was looking at me in this one.


Inchin' along.

He's still here at my desk, munching on a piece of lettuce. 
I've always had a bit of a soft spot for inchworms. I used to have an inchworm riding toy back in the day - the 70s.
I was hoping we had a picture of it. 
It looked like this:


I loved that thing. I guess I've always been easily amused.

That's not easily amused...that'a appreciating the simple things in life! ;)

Can I print out your pics? Those are so great! I don't know what I'd do with them, but they're so awesome! :)
