Photography & Me: May 2012
http://praying-mantis101.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
A personal blog about nature, photography and myself. Monday, May 28, 2012. I was hanging out with my neighbor at his place one rainy evening, when we hear several loud frog calls from a nearby stream. Upon taking a look, we spotted a pretty large frog in the shallow water. As I didn't have my camera with me, my neighbor lent me his Nikon L110 to grab these few shots. We sneaked closer to the frog, till he hopped onto the gravel. Sunday, May 27, 2012.

A personal blog about nature, photography and myself. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Snake in the Tank. This has occurred several times: A rat snake hunting for fish and frogs, gets caught in the net covering the fish tank (pond) outdoors. Many a times, the snake eventually dies of suffocation! However, this time, after much twisting and turning within the net, the snake managed to free itself and slithered straight into the water. Saturday, February 4, 2012. Life on My Desk. I love this mentos case! A reall...

once i saw a dragonfly: March 2012
http://onceisawadragonfly.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2012. I used to be. The horses were quiet and accepting of me, they didn't need me to talk or be funny or smart or popular. I could just stand by the fence quietly and eventually they would meander over to me for some petting or head scratching. I think that was the hook for me - the acceptance. The unconditional acceptance, expecting really nothing in return. But like any job in any industry, there are downsides and politics, etc.and when I was pregnant with my daughter I left teac...

Wednesday, September 4, 2013. Today, she is my birthday. Which means.I can do anything I want! And I just want to share some favorite photos from near and far and long ago and yesterday. This is my puffy man, Madison. I loved this day, spent with a special friend. He took me to a place I never would have found by myself and it was so serene. Me and my first horse, Elmer J. Fudd (Millionaire. He owned a mansion and a yacht). Me and my baby. And donuts. Me and a llama :-). Fleurs on my desk at work. 50-som...

Photography & Me: Dead Water Snakes
http://praying-mantis101.blogspot.com/2012/05/dead-water-snakes.html
A personal blog about nature, photography and myself. Friday, May 25, 2012. While walking along the mounds in the middle of the wet fields, I came across 2 dead snakes. Now I don't know how they were killed or who or what killed them. The first one, as shown below, was lying in the shallow water with its ventral side up. I then took the snake up with a stick and placed it on the ground to try and identify it. All I can say is that it is a species of watersnake, maybe a keelback. June 3, 2014 at 9:33 PM.

A personal blog about nature, photography and myself. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Mother Scorpion with Young. I spotted this group of scorpions below a large pile of rocks that were left untouched for quite a while. I was kind of expecting to find them as they are always present in such piles. There were many tiny young scorpions together with a large mother. Not wanting to disturb them, I covered the crevice with a rock and left. Monday, August 29, 2011. Here's a shot of him on my hand. The frog hopped ...
