peek-a-boo!


wandering
the
yard
this afternoon...

i spotted this
katydid...
munching
on a banana tree leaf.


Peek-a-Boo!!
(uh-oh! busted!)

when she had enough of the banana tree...
she
casually
moved 
on to the 
mexican petunias.

  5. I hate to be a copycat, but yes, the katydid is really cute! Once again you found a ham posing for you. Very unique-would be a great commerical. And Mexican Petunias? They grow pretty wild around Fort Worth too. You can hardly keep them contained. You know, when you water them in late afternoon when the blooms have closed up-they snap like rice krispies! Your bone art is great!

  8. OH MY GOODNESS! great snaps. ...and a katydid munching on a banana tree leaf of I wish they these where I live. The katydid is so cute, and you captured her at such a true savouring moment too! Great yard by the way....I'd probably never go inside just keep snapping precious moments to savour!

  9. Yeah, I recognized the mexican petunias right off. We laugh when we see them for sale at the nurseries. I was digging the young ones up and taking them to work and giving them away. They spread real fast, but die off in the winter. You can always depend on them to come back in the spring!

  11. Karen - thanks!! yes! the katydid WAS the cutest...peeking over the leaf like that!! and you're right, too, about not wanting to go back inside...there's so much happening on the other side of the door! :]

    Susan - i know what you mean...they grow like crazy...popping up all over the place! and they never die out completely! :]

    VM Sehy Photo - yes! we can all agree...the katydid is CUTE!! what a little face!! she even looks surprised!! ha! and...with all the plant eating critters around here...i'm actually pretty lucky! nothing is ever TOO devoured! well, except for certain caterpillars...they WILL eat a plant of their liking...to the ground! :]

    THANKS EVERYBODY!! i appreciate...as always...your time & thoughts! >>laura

  13. I'm a friend of Laurie and J's. The Medium and Reiki will do you good.I believe they may tell you that you need to do some past life regression work to heal you here in the present so you may enjoy the rest of your life and leave the past behind.Also may I recommend Rebbecca Marina a very beautiful person, EFT expert and channel in Texas for Divine Mother which you will definably find helpful.It won't hurt to just take a look I promise :)It is not "religious"
