Beautiful capture, Tommy!

Lovely shot, Mike

Good morning to you to Gerald. Thank you so much!

Black and white photo of praying mantis nymph, likely the South African praying mantis. The mantis sits holds to the surfave of a broad leave, and the background positioned to the right is blurred.

Early this year I had the privelage relocating a dozen baby praying mantis from our living room couch (I assumed they hatched nearby), into our garden. This baby I put on the surface of a canna leave, a surface right next to thick bushes which would provide ample cover.

Sunset at Betty's Bay last weekend.

Temperatures are slowly warming here, the days are getting longer and I am truly looking forward to #summer.

Of cause. I think we also tend to foget that nature can be brutal.

Stunning capture! What a sighting. Must have been something to witness.

Thank you, John!

For #BlueskyArtShow theme #BWFriday, here is a dramatic #scape photographed in Van Wyksdorp #SouthAfrica.

I think in this case, it was a display of social dominance.

A plain's Zebra nipping at a companion.

Zebras have complex social structures, and this seemingly aggressive interaction might be a form of social bonding, mutual grooming, or even a display of dominance within the herd.
