My first Real Interior Design Project

Now when we bought our house my wife gave me permission to decorate the downstairs bath anyway I wanted to. This bathroom contains 3 painted mouse holes, a mouse book collection, a mouse figuerine collection, original oil paintings and many other mouse related objects. Creating art is living a life. And what can be better than enjoying art while doing your business...well except for all those mice watching you.

Praying Mantis

Digital Photo

This morning I woke up, got out out the gas trimmer, trimmed some grass, raked leaves and then I started not to feel so good. Out of breath, I walked towards my house up the south side by the Koi pond. I caught a glimpse of this Praying Mantis on my dwarf, weeping, Japanese Maple Tree. I watched him drink the dew off the leaves for a while then grabbed my camera. Then I began to feel better.
