Let Us Prey

Filed under: Personal Stuff, Photography — Longrider @ 15:25 pm

I made a start on the garden today. The grass was close to five feet tall in places and needed cutting. Whizzing round with a motor mower is a therapeutic activity. Once finished, a long cold drink in the shade of the walnut tree feels well deserved. It is then that I can take the time to quietly observe the teeming life around me in the trees, bushes and now well trimmed grass. It was while sipping my drink that I noticed this character.

Not sure I’d want to mess with her…

If I were you, I’d name him/her Killer ;-)

Or dip it in chocolate and have it as a snack… I hear they are nice and crunchy!

A few more of those and you won’t need to cut the grass.

I’m going to name her Cicely after the madcap town in the programme Northern Exposure. She sure is a cutie.

I was taunting a mantis one day, and it leapt right in my face! Hehe, they aren’t afraid of ANYTHING!
