While I was pulling weeds I disturbed a praying mantis and I thought it would be a great photo for the day so I ran for the camera. Of course by the time I got back he was nowhere to be seen. Later I felt something land on my head and thinking it was a stick from one of the trees I brushed it away only to discover.......... a praying mantis. Not sure if was the same one but the camera was much closer this time and I was able to get a few shots. Still not a very good one because the camera wanted to focus on the walk instead of the bug.
@gerry13 That’s really nice of you to say. thank you so very much @ludwigsdiana it wasn’t amazing at first Diana! it scared me to death. Glad you like it! @cdonohoue LOL! Thanks Cathy. Is “mantisy” a new word? @summerfield I was thinking the same thing! Thanks bunches @wakelys that’s possible and let me tell you it certainly did! @dutchothotmailcom I have never heard of keeping them as a pet before! It sure was interesting to watch how it moved though! Thanks Esther @gijsje that’s so nice of you to say, Bep @eudora that’s very generous of you Diane thank you so much! @30pics4jackiesdiamond it really does look very alien and I can’t believe that @summerfield didn’t mention it!
Hmmm- seems like he might have had it in for you! That's one of the drawbacks to the fixed lens. Sometimes you have to trick the camera in order to get the proper focus, or you have to move back until it's happy.
@randystreat They certainly do! @madamelucy Thank you so much! @olivetreeann I just looked at it as a second chance for the photo and you are right about the lens!
