While watering and pulling weeds this morning, I came across this fine fellow! What a lovely praying mantis. Made me wish I had some little one around here that I could show him to. I got right down there and got his face, too. For some reason, not the fault of the photographer I'm sure, I didn't get him all focused in this shot. While I was admiring his beauty, another beauty slithered away through the bee balm,
a
garter snake. I saw him, or another like him, a couple of weeks ago in that front garden. He was about the size of a pencil then, now he's about the size of my middle finger. Must be getting some good things to eat. Hope it's the grasshoppers! They're terrible in there! One more shot of the mantis---enjoy!
