Family in Feast and Feria

During a recent trip to Pennsylvania, we stopped at a rest area. (There are more stops lately because of a certain potty-trained little person. ;-).) The rest area had some beautiful sunflowers, about 7-8 feet tall, so I was pointing them out to my son. Looking a bit closer, I spied a praying mantis on one of the stalks.

Dh was the one who urged me to take the pictures. I got quite a few strange looks from passers-by...but the little guy is forever captured on film! A wonderful lesson for us to always keep our eyes open. Nature study is everywhere.
