I hope that soon, I'll get some time to learn the tricks of the new Nikon, and then make those photos I have in my mind already.

A documentation about the life of the Praying Mantis that lives in our backyard.
Mantis' Mantra
We discovered that a Praying Mantis has chosen one of the plants in front of our living room windows as her domicile.
Usually, I do not like insects that much - too crawly, too many legs, too yucky.
But in this case, I was fascinated by this marvelous creature. Having photography as my main hobby, it was immediately clear to me that I had to document her life.
And that's about it. I will take pictures of her, write some stories that connect our lifes, and have fun in doing that.
This blog is in no way meant to be scientific, or even educational - although I will certainly share the knowledge that I gain, through own observation, or by reading literature about this species.
Also, I might come up with some tips and tricks how to photograph these critters - this is not easy at all and requires probably more trial and error than I can imagine right now.
Anyway, this should be a fun project and if you have some Mantis-stories to share, or some pictures of your own, please let me know.
