Every year the Kingfishers breed in the bank below the house.
I was on the porch when I spotted this one sitting on the fence right outside my bedroom window!
Luckily I had not yet opened the curtains & managed to 'steal' this photo by putting
only the lens through a slight opening between curtains.
The Kingfisher was instantly aware of the movement and did not give me a chance for a second shot.
   
I am thankful for clean windows!!

This little bug was floating in a container that had filled up with last night's rain.
I rescued it and placed it on a leaf & my reward was an extended photo session.
He painstakingly dried himself by drawing his legs and antennae through his mandibles.

This baby Praying Mantis somehow reminded me of our new puppy -
Perhaps because it had the attitude of a Mini Schnauzer.
