Hi everyone,
Last night we ate out by the lake. The air was cool so we took advantage of the fire pit. As we enjoyed our meal, we noticed that several small insects were attracted by the flames, mostly little moths that flew around the fire or landed nearby, including on us.
When we finished and I stood to turn off the fire pit for the evening, I discovered this mantis perched on the adjoining table two feet from the flames. I don’t know if it was attracted by the fire or by the opportunity to grab a free snack. One never knows who is sharing the feast around Goose Lake.
Heard an owl across the water. A peaceful way to wind down the day.
Yesterday afternoon we worked some and played some. Ran a few errands, splashed in the pool. A few of the smaller denizens of Goose Lake showed up, which was nice.
