Love the purple flowers; the orb spider not so much...

I took this one a couple of years ago. Not sure if I posted it or not.

That's crazy. I actually saw a tree like this on a hike today.

Early summer praying mantis. Late summer ones are dry, bunch grass tan.

That was last week. Wife saw it on the car in the driveway from the kitchen window.

I have large hands, so that's an 8" mantis..... :laughing:

Nice picture, you can really see the detail on the wings.

Thanks. iPhone 6. :laughing:

Sometimes, when things go just right, it takes great pictures.

That mantis was on the smaller side, at about 3.5 inches body length. Honestly, we've had them 5-6 inches many times.

Yesterday I noted a mother Harry woodpecker out with her daughter, showing her how to forage. Sorry I couldn't get a good photo of them. This was of course shot through a screen but the one on the right was larger and the mom.

Some of my favorite shots from Black Moshannon State Park (Central PA) this past weekend.

I was working on some brush a while back and had the feeling something was watching me. I turned around and saw these bandits.

OMG so cute! But...shoot them in the face, seriously. Ok don't shoot them, but racoons suck, ask my ducks.
