Blending Right In



Here’s the full picture we cropped for the picture you saw to get here.


Right now we have a couple of praying mantises living in our yard. They are great camouflage artists—one blends right in with the wood on our steps, while another blends perfectly with the green goldenrod (now in bloom) stems.

Praying or Preying



Since these pictures were all taken at Leaming’s Run Gardens, we’ll share some memories of that beautiful place while you enjoy the mantis pictures.


We loved seeing the resident painted turtles and snapping turtles there!

Music at Leaming’s Run



We have many fond memories of Leaming’s Run Gardens—including playing with our former recorder group in the gazebo there.


We also saw beautiful box turtles there.

Turtlesinger Turtles at Leaming’s Run



One time we had an event at Leaming’s Run called “Turtlepalooza” which featured all 4 of our Turtlesinger turtles. We waited for the public to come down the paths, where all of a sudden they would come upon one of our live turtles.

Where to Look



We’ve seen praying mantises everywhere: the post office, the Avalon Boardwalk, our yard, our steps—so watch where you step. 😊

When Leaming’s Run became Screaming’s Run!



We think of Screaming’s Run fondly at this time of year because we spent so many fun and happy years scaring people in the woods there during October for Halloween. We played everything from zombies, dead cowboys, witch doctors, etc., and always had a good time. This year, we’re looking for drive-through scary scenarios during Covid to enjoy getting scared safely.


We hope you’ve enjoyed this series of praying mantises, and thanks as always for reading.
