Random Nature

There is something gratifying about coming across some random bit of the natural world on our property.  Bumble Bees buzzing in the squash blossoms,  a Preying Mantis perched on the string weaving in the tomato patch,  Wild roses blooming next to the road.  I always pause to admire.  I am NEVER in such a hurry to miss the opportunity to enjoy the natural world around me.  And it pleases me that the habitat right here in my yard supports a diversity of life.

Early morning dew on a clothes line spider web.  Made last night in the still air, it will be gone when mid morning breezes dry it out and blow it away.  She will make another tonight.
