Dinner Time or Not for the Squeamish

Today when I was watering I discovered a Green Praying Mantis in the backyard.Manitises are insectevores. That is to say they eat other insects as their food or diet. They can wait patiently for hours on end waiting for an insect to wander too close to them. Then like lightening their forelegs shoot out and grasp their prey. Typically they eat the head off first as this one does with a grasshopper it caught.Here are a few images from dinner time. You may notice that they aren't finicky eaters.

Playing in the Rain

This morning I dropped Annika off at school and then I spent about an hour and a half looking for images in the rain. I found some pretty cool colorful reflections on the pavement. Later on I photographed some of your standard people walking in the rain images. I loved how this one woman's boots matched up with the sidewalk paint on Highway 101. Finally on the way home I created a few traffic and road images. My favorite one is the abstract curvey road.

God's blessings to all,

chris,
