Lady Praying Mantis

This lovely svelt female praying mantis was photographed in my back yard in October, 2008. She is waiting for her mating partner. I never did see him though. There were a few snakes in the yard too and I am afraid of what might have happened to her.

You can buy this picture if you want to. Please email me at insect1@swbell.net. I also would love hearing from you.

Sheep in a row (with Sheep dog in the background)

My goal is always to show that individuals that are alive have a life!

It took me eight years to get this picture! I finally met the Riddle family, and they agreed to take the time to line up these five ewes (women sheep)with Rerun their wonderful sheep dog.

You can buy this picture from me if you wish. I will split the profits 50/50 with the Riddles.

Bonobos the 4th Great Ape

This is the family portrait of Lucy (in her mom's arms), and Lucy's big sister Lexi, on the left. Lorel (their mom) is in the center. They live in the Jacksonville, Florida, Zoo. Lucy is one year old here, Lorel is 36 and Lexi is five. I have been following Lucy and her family in photographs from the time she was one. Over time, here in this blog, you will see her and her family change.
