On Top of the World

"I'm sitting on top of the world,
Just a rolling along, just a rolling along
I'm quitting the blues of the world,
Just a singing a song, just a singing a song."

This praying mantis has been hanging around my front door this weekend. He found a soft perch on top of the mums. He does seem like a friendly little chap! Please view large so you can see his cute little smile! pp.
