Open  your eyes and you will see,

Amazing sites all for free.

~

Mother nature provides a show,

A bounty of wonders that slowly grow.

 ~

Show your respect,

She is fragile, in many aspects.

~

Marvel at her beauty and works of art,

Celebrate her creations with love in your heart.

A tangled web she weaves,

Inviting those she receives,

Doesn’t take long to grieve,

You see, no one gets to leave.

~What are you doing on my new Michelins”

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?

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!

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!
