Built With Love and Care

It's important to look up. I would have missed this wonderful structure if I hadn't ...

There was a park ranger nearby and I wanted to ask him what brilliant critter built this but he was busy being mesmerized by two young women in really tight running gear. I could have shouted "bear" but that seemed so mean. All three of them were so young and so pretty.

I took these shots in late November. I haven't been back to this park since our Christmas blizzard, it's just too hard to get around.

Can I Come In?

I opened the kitchen door and this guy was on the screen. I think he's beautiful; very graceful with wonderful ballet like extension. 

I carefully moved him to the bushes.

The patio umbrella had been closed for several days; enough time for somebody to move in.

As I cranked open the umbrella from underneath I noticed a shadow. Upon closer inspection ...



... I realized I had guests.

I let it be for awhile with the umbrella half open. Later in the day I moved the "structure" to a group of bushes.

Everyone was carrying on as if they were about to be swarmed by killer insects. Telling me to close the umbrella, get the hose, call the National Guard. Ridiculous.

I do not see the need to kill a living creature just because you can.

CAMERA CRITTERS

This little guy hangs out on my kitchen window - on the outside thankfully - He sits there for a bit, often turning in a circle. Then he backs his way off the window and disappears into the siding.

I love his little legs, especially the one that is always curved. I decided he was waving to me.
