Posts in Category: Hines Drive
Hines Drive is a long road of interconnected parks in Wayne County, Michigan.
On Saturdays from the beginning of May to the end of September they close off the road so that people on bicycles, roller blades, strollers and people walking can have a 6.5 mile stretch of road to use as a path and not have to worry about traffic.
I spend a lot of time there on Saturdays (and other days) so I tend to end up with a lot of photos.
Big caterpillar on the picnic table
I was hesitant to tag this with insect (isn’t 6 legs the rule?), but I googled it and got “A caterpillar is the larva of a butterfly or moth. A butterfly is a diurnal insect. So, a caterpillar is a baby insect.”
I think I shot this at one of the parks along Hines Drive or maybe it’s the seat of a bench in front of Hamtramck City Hall (I’d eat lunch outside at the park when I worked in Hamtramck) but it doesn’t look bright enough to be directly outside (even with clouds). I know I shot it in May or June of 2010 but I’m just not sure where I took it…
I liked the interesting bug
I don’t have any idea what kind of bug this is or what kind of flowers. But I thought the bug came out okay for an iPhone 4 camera and the focus was interesting. There were some better looking flowers, but I couldn’t get the bug to pose over there.
This was taken on Hines Drive near Telegraph. There is a bunch of flowers (and wild stuff) in a plot on the far side of the soccer field closer to telegraph.
