You looking at me?
Living close to woodlands has its benefits. I encountered this beautiful praying mantis on my deck, one morning and was able to get fairly close before it moved on. It looked at me discouragingly while I tried to capture it’s features close-up. Loved how its green body popped in front of the grey canvas
