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!

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!

Foto Friday #55 | Water


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.
