Oops, I don't know my insects, so I called it a "praying mantis" on my alt text. I have now read a bit on the difference. Thanks 😊

I've also tried Murakami and haven't succeeded in enjoying his work.

Sorry I missed your text. I'm processing a non-stop 24/7 onslaught of information with a brain designed to eat berries in a cave.

Also raised Mennonite here. The acculturated, academic kind. And I love the Oxford comma 🙂

Had to look up cartonnage. It would be hilarious if it referred to the ancient Egyptian funerary meaning 😁

Its #BlueskyMonday. I know. I post a lot of images of this lonely old pine snag that sits just offshore on a North Florida beach. I don't know what draws me to it. There's a certain elegance in its curves. It's a piece of nature's art. #photography #landscape #ECK #longexposure #sunrise

So this photo contains zero birds, but in my defence, we were sitting outside waiting for birds. But the sun was almost setting and the backlit Snapdragons stole the show!

A backlit snapdragon flower that is partially opened. The background is dark green with a round sun like highlight in the top right corner. It’s actually an out of focus highlight that appears large because it’s a telephoto lens. The pink snapdragon flower is rim lit but has some light bouncing back to light the flower.
For those interested, the lens is a 400mm and required 5 frames focused on slightly different parts of the flower to be stacked together so the entire flower was sharp .

Usually, during or after my trips, I share pics of stained-glass windows from churches or cathedrals. This beauty, though, is from the entrance lobby of #ManchesterCentralLibrary . Beautiful, isn't it? 😍

All twisted up with her breeding plumage catching a breeze, the great egret guards her two blue eggs while preening. For the #HeronsAndEgrets theme for #BirdOfTheDay. #EastCoastKin #birds #Wakodahatchee
