Giant House Fly! by cjwhite

Giant House Fly!

I went on a field trip today with my granddaughter, Natalyn, and her preschool class. We visited The Discovery House, a hands on museum for children.

I had to play with this giant house fly robot. You could move the wings and the head. Very cool!

The Discovery House is connected to my favorite place to take pics, The Greenway. Unfortuately, we are having a major frog strangler today, and all I could do was look sadly through the museum windows at the downpour.
Very Nice! A museum is a great way to spend a rainy day.

This is a very intricate and intriguing piece of work. Great capture.
(By the way, did you mean to say you were having a 'frog' strangler, or is it meant to be a 'fog' strangler?? I have this vision of everyone out in the rain strangling frogs!!! If that is the correct word, please explain!)

@girlie It's a country saying around here! LOL! If it's coming a frog strangler, it's pouring down enough to choke a frog. We also say it's raining cats and dogs. I don't know if that is one you know. :0)

@girlie I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary to see if I could explain it better. It's a rain event so torrential that even adept amphibians drown. Sounds better than my explanation. LOL! :0)

@cjwhite Thanks for the explanation; I'll have to start using it here! Yes, we use the cats and dogs one.

@imn2it It was fun! :0) @angievega Thanks Angie! :0) @lilbumblebee It really is a cool place and they change exhibits pretty often. They have live animals too. I got to see a screech owl up close today! They are so cute! They had snakes out, but I moved far away from those! LOL! @leahtaylor Thank you Leah and thanks for inviting me along! :0)

Wow. What an awesome sculpture! I love it!
I thought you meant 'fog strangler' too! Gully washer makes me think of 'gully water', which is one of my fave drinks. (black beer with a dash of lemon soda) mmm..

@tabbycat They had a really awesome chameleon too, but I couldn't get a good pic of it that didn't have a glare in it. :0)

@cjwhite Yeah, that sucks, but that's what processing is for! ;-)

Haha, I didn't know what a "frog strangler" was either... had to read through the comments. :) Cool shot; that robot's kinda freaky!
