I always wondered if "Mantisie" spoke 'broccoli', eh… I 'pray' that you'll take an abundance of 'cards' with you to capture your grandson (Wally III?)

Marvelous photographs and presentation, Wally. I love the imagry. I hope you don't go into withdrawal with the slower interconnection speed. Very well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan

Have a wonderful time.

Thank you Rob. Paul M, Paul G, Kathleen, Carolyn, Colleen, Karen, Allan, Joy, Colette, Charlene, Claudia, and Jill. Gee, should I have had her sign a release? Now that I know about Rob's legal background, I am concerned. But, you all saw that she begged me ... will that stand up in court? ;)

7/27/2004 5:11:12 AM

Great macro, Wally!!!!!!!!!

7/27/2004 5:30:06 AM

Crap--Wally, I knew I was in trouble once I mentioned that I was an attorney in that Q/A...now no one will comment on my photos because they're scared to be sued. :) I promise, I'm one of those nice attorneys (ok, that's kind of an oxymoron).

The mantis is my favorite insect and I spent days last summer photographing one in my garden. I wish I had a shot as wonderful as this for my efforts. You did a fine job. I think the key is to isolate, as you have done here. Congrats Wally!
