What's better than one praying mantis? Two!! I found these guys about three feet from each other and placed them close to one another to see what they would do. The green one looks petrified and the brown one could care less. If you watch closely at about 1 minute you will see the black pigment in the brown one's eyes move. I have never noticed that before. This one is best watched full screen. Shot at 1/100s, f/7.1, ISO 640, 30fps
Many humans may aspire to this kind of love, and some lucky ones achieve it, but there are few other species of living beings among which this level of commitment and fidelity is to be seen.
Swans mate for life, are always together, both partners providing loving nurture to their offspring. If a swan loses his or her partner, they do not take another.
When I was a young man, living a subsistence life among the Eskimo people of the Western Alaskan tundra, I went out with them every Spring hunting migratory birds. By way of excuse and rationalization, I should mention that this was a village some 600 miles from the nearest road, where, back in the early seventies, the small store sold only such staples as flour, sugar, lard, tea, etc..
Once , when I was camping in a remote place, I shot down a swan, and it's mate circled me high overhead for two days, trumpeting out cries of lost love. Those plaintive sounds still echo in my mind, after 30 years, and, in memory, the crime only grows in enormity.
Two cadets from Company D-1, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment get ready to run across Range 11 to conduct a live-fire training exercise during their Super Saturday training event. The range as well as other simulated combat scenarios were primarily conducted and overseen by senior class cadets. The responsibility of planning, executing and evaluating a regimental training event is integral to cadet leader development in preparation for assuming the responsibilities of a new lieutenant. Super Saturday is an annual cadet-led military training event each of the four regiments conduct during the academic year. (Photo by Sgt. Vincent Fusco/Pointer View)
The beginnings of a found-object project . There's an alley outside my apartment where everyone puts their trash, so the landscape is always changing.
The Cottonwood Hotel where John Wayne and Gail Russell had their famous fling while filming the 1947 "Angel and the Bad Man" in nearby Sedona. The Karmann Ghia speaks for itself.
My aunt Carolyn (Sister Carolyn at that time), cousin Rick, me and my cousin Kim (Rick's sister) being held by their aunt Donna (Barbara's sister). I assume it is Halloween because of the masks. We are at my cousins' house.
This one is actually a combination of two photos - one where I could get the color of the trees and another where I could get the color of the clouds because - when I got the trees the sky would wash out. :sigh: I really need to think about a better camera...
