Smoke from a candle I just blew out. Smoke is awesome looking, but unpredictable, so I had to take a lot of shots to have any good ones to choose from. I did extensive tweaking with the color balance tool to get the final image.

Cool/evil looking caterpillar on a tree at UCLA [edit: looks very similar to ladybug larvae, but not quite... anyone know what it is?]. I think they had just hatched nearby, because there were at least 15 on this tree, but I didn't see them on any other trees. Thank goodness for the SD400's 3 cm focusing distance in macro mode but still, the bug was quite small and I had to crop this image quite a bit.](https://photos.smugmug.com/Daily/Year1/i-xM76zzj/2/c7ae6090/Ti/2008-04-23%20Caterpillar-Ti.jpg)
