After I captured the hummingbirds sticking their tongues out, I walked through the Botanical Garden and found my next subject.....a praying mantis! But I did not find him this way!
I was close to stepping on him because he was in the middle of the path when I first encountered him!! Little did he know he was going to be in my photo shoot!
I put him on some flowers and took photos of him. He kept his eye on me, and I don't think he was too excited. I was thankful the Lord again brought me another friend in the garden:)
How very cool! I have never seen a mantis on a flower bloom before, the place you put him makes him actually look like part of the flower, a giant stamen!
ReplyDeletehe is really a handsome guy and I like that shot of him on the flower. i bet he was a tiny bit shocked.
ReplyDeleteThe second shot looks like he was as frighten as you and was hoping you would not step on him. I so love the mantis, they are so gentle but play a huge roll in keeping the garden beautiful.
