Bugs, Butterflies and a Bird

Beetle
Beetle

In the forest, who knows what you will see,

While on a hike, or riding a bike;

Hear,  f eel,  just be.

 ~

A bird singing a song, 

A bug traveling along;

Hear,  feel,  just be.

A butterfly drinking nectar, 

A beetle saying, don’t give me a lecture;

Hear, feel,  just be.

 ~

A flower looking forlorn

A deep, red bloom reborn;

Hear, feel,  just be.

In the forest, who knows what you will see,

Hear, feel,  just be.

Red Admiral "May I help you?" "Which way would you like to hike?"

A little beat-up!
One still blooming with a spider calling it home!

I’am sure there is a bug in there somewhere.
Past their prime, but still pretty!

A tangled web she weaves,

Inviting those she receives,

Doesn’t take long to grieve,

You see, no one gets to leave.

Enjoy the Journey!

~What are you doing on my new Michelins”

"Get off of there"
“Get off of there”

~

Do it with flair,

 Jump off of there.

~

You will be going round and round,

It won’t be homeward bound;

Jump off of there.

~

The spin will make you dizzy,

Your brain will be in a tizzy;

Jump off of there.

~

I’am going to charge you fare,

You must take care;

Jump off of there.

~

Do it with flair,

Jump off of there.

What are you doing on my Michelins?
What are you doing on my Michelins?
It appears as if the Michelin man is trying to pull the Praying Mantis off.

While we were camping at Copper Breaks State Park outside of Quanah, TX,  we encountered Praying Mantis everywhere. They liked hanging on to the coach tires; I believe for the heat.

Notice, the little leg hanging on to the rubber stub on the tire. I when outside to get something out of one of the bays and came back inside with one on my ear! Yikes!

fast, long and slender

eagle eye spots a morsel

"I think I will stretch, before I take off."
“I think I will stretch, before I take off.”
Why don't you stay awhile?

I took these photos while at Copper Breaks State Park. We were driving out of the park and i noticed her sitting on this fence post. I got out of the car and was able to capture these shots before, as you can see, she darted off!
