Day 154

Day 154- Scary Spider

It's that time of year again; the giant spiders are popping up all over the place.  I'm pretty sure this guy is a Spotted Orbweaver.  It is huge, about the size of a quarter when its legs are curled to its body, but when its moving around, it seems huge.  I love everything about Fall, except for these guys!

Day 152

Day 152- Praying Mantis

I spotted this fairly large Praying Mantis in our backyard as I was outside with the dogs.  I watched it for awhile and took lots of different photos.  Although this guy was pretty big (a little longer than my pinky), I wish I had a macro lens so I could focus in a little more on the details.

Day 151- The West

I grew up in California, lived in Arizona, and spent time traveling to many of the states in the west, however, Wyoming is definitely the most "Western" place I have visited.  In my short time here I saw a lot of boots, cows, trucks and open plains.  We only visited the a tiny bit of the state but it was beautiful!

Day 144- Cattails

today while walking my dog, I snapped this picture of some cattail plants growing along the pathway.  I played around and took the photo overexposed and underexposed.  I thought this too bright, overexposed photo was kind of fun.
