On 30 April 2021, my mom and I went to Point Reyes National Seashore in Inverness, CA for a day trip. We did an out and back round trip walk to Tomales Point and back via Tomales Point Trail. I took both cellphone photos and photos with my mirrorless camera. The photos are split into 3 blog posts. I hope you enjoying viewing these photos.

Funny story when I was trying to identify the caterpillar using Google Lens. Google Lens kept identifying this as the Isabella Tiger Moth (
Pyrrharctia isabella) which happens to have the exact opposite colour pattern (brown in the middle, and black on both ends). 😂 I guess artificial intelligence is still not there yet, can't really blame Google. You can see what the Isabella Tiger Moth looks like

I really hope you enjoyed viewing these photos of the Ranchman's Tiger Month Caterpillar. It took me a long time to take these photos as my vision impairment (due to visual snow syndrome) made it extremely challenging to take these photos. It took me a long time and many tries before I got a few usable photos of the caterpillar. I can't see in detail very well as my vision is distorted by the neurological vision loss and it was pretty dark that day due to fog. I'm still surprised at how good these few usable photos turned out though. I might be dealing with vision loss due to visual snow, but I didn't lose a decade worth of photography experience.
