I continue to see these white fuzzy caterpillars and have concluded that they may be Virginia Tiger Moth caterpillars (Spilosoma virginica), also known as Yellow Wooly Bear caterpillars.
I have seen some mating white moths in the same area that look like Virginia Tiger Moths and my photos of these caterpillars resemble some of the ones I find on-line for the Yellow Wooly Bear caterpillars.
In any case, I really like the way that the light fell on this caterpillar and illuminated the long white hairs of its body, giving it a halo-like effect.
