Weather's Fine, Wish You Were Here...

Well, I wish I was (still) there. Took this one on the beach in Princeville, Kauai (Hawaii).

Praying Mantis Challenging Me

Found this Praying Mantis under the overhang in front of the house. I carefully got him down and put him near a bush. Notice he's on a fly swatter. Since he was giving me attitude, I figured it was a good chance to get an interesting photo of him. Looks way better blown up to 8x10.
