SAY "HI" TO MY FRIEND

As you now probably know I am always on the lookout for a picture to take. Last night while waiting on a person to come and open a barn where my daughter is planning on holding her wedding reception I decided to wander around and see what might be there. I soon saw one of the insects that are very dear to my heart because they are such good ones. This little Praying Mantis was sitting on one of the doors and so I quickly ran and got my camera and put on a close-up lens filter of a value of +4 and then started taking pictures of it. It was a fairly young one and did not really trust me but I still managed to get it to pose for a few shots before I went to join my wife and daughter in the barn.
