It's a Bug's Life

I went outside yesterday afternoon to take pictures of a butterfly that had been feeding on my Lantana. In the process of waiting for it to land I could see something moving on the bush and took a closer look. Which I thought was a Walking Stick, but turned out to be a Praying Mantis. So I began taking pictures of it. I was excited about capturing it. He was moving sort of fast, so I kept snapping, and then I saw a fly...

I couldn't get over what I had captured with my camera! I have never witnessed this with my eyes before. 


The photos are not too clear, I guess snapping away, and his fast movement, I wasn't thinking or having time to focus. 
I still love what I captured!


Thanks for stopping by,

Project 366 Rewind #30

It's been a busy and yet still a rainy hot week!

Sunday-Antique browsing almost lead to a total melt down when Vallon spotted this old firetruck! He wanted it so bad.

This is my favorite photo for the month!

Monday-I love this photo! He said come on maw-maw, I wanna ride my bike so you can take pictures!

What a bribe, not really, hehe!

Tuesday- I was in a John Mayer mood as I was getting ready for work.

Wednesday-He could really play at the park everyday!

Thursday- A little walk and bike riding, we are trying to add more exercise into our lives.  

Friday-Fourteen week check up on the baby, everything is going great. Had to get a picture of her in this cute dress!

Saturday-Birthday dinner for my daughter, yes that is her being goofy, crossing her eyes! :)


And that was our week! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Back to Foto Friday!

Today I'm at the doctor with my daughter for her 14 week check up on the baby. They are doing a couple of test today and she will meet her new mid wife as well.

Fun photos last week!

Project 366 Rewind | Week #29

We had sort of a quiet week. I'm trying to fill spots in daycare, it rained all week, so led to another blah of a week as far as weather goes! 

Let's rewind my week...

 Monday-Bought watermelon from the supermarket, which wasn't nearly as sweet as the Washington Parish watermelons sold on the side of the road. Lesson learned!

 

Monday Vallon and I made a train tunnel out of a cardboard box, fun! The cat seemed to enjoy the box too.

 Tuesday-New buds on my Hibiscus tree! 

Wednesday-Vallon's low rider car.

Thursday-I'm trying to take mirror pictures in our truck. I finally figured it out! :)

Friday-Lilly was in the craziest mood, I had a lot of fun with her that morning.

Saturday evening on the way home, I sat in the back seat with Vallon, practicing blowing bubbles with gum. We will keep trying. I love making close bonds with him!

Thanks for viewing our week!

Welcome to Foto Friday this week!

I'm happy you're here.

I know there are several places needing rain at this moment, and I pray that y'all get it. We have gotten so much in the last few weeks. I love rain, and sleep so well at night with a nice thunderstorm, but this is a little much. It's looking grim outside as I'm writing this. We have a chance of rain again tonight.
