A thousand years ago, I was an active participant in ; back then, I felt the need to visit, read and comment to every participant, and when it reached mid double digits in participation, I burned out and dropped out for the most part. It was a great community for a long time and I always enjoyed crossing paths with a familiar group of people.
This week one of my is hosting. I just published pictures that fit her theme "Show something from your garden", so I told her I'd join in. It's not too late to add your offering to her list, and be sure to check out the –it might just be right up your alley!!

Yesterday I was weeding a flower bed when I reached for a clump of green that did not belong in "that spot" and I came finger-to-face with this little fella. In spite of the fact I'm a trillion times larger than he is…I still squealed like a banshee.
Then, I promptly ran inside and grabbed my camera like any respectable blogger/photographer.
I think he's part chameleon, don't you?
Fun Monday!
So if I tell you I once stepped on a snake when walking in my Aunt’s garden, will you pass out?
Great DOF on the photos
What a great find, and well photographed.
I think that’s some kind of katydid. They’re very good at camouflage and hard to photograph because of it.
Those are great pics! And yeah I would have shrieked too!
What an incredible shot! And though I do not, I repeat do NOT like insects I have to praise God for His creativity!
Oh, he’s beautiful! 🙂 I would have been all in his face with a camera too. 🙂
Very interesting. Actually took me a second to figure out that the brown part was part of him and not a leaf. Good capture.
I don’t think that is a grasshopper.
WOW, What a cool find!! Great photos.
Excellent capture — glad you didn’t scare it away!
He is very cool looking….(or maybe she?)
What a neat creature to catch in a photo!!
Very cute!
How neat to see a praying mantis! We seem to see alot of them in the Fall. Brown ones too. Did you know that the female eats the male after they mate?
Now that I look at it a little closer. It does not appear to be a praying mantis. But, maybe it is a mixed breed of somekind. Oh well.
