The miracle of life ... Part One
Birth. Or to be more precise ... rebirth!
One of the things I love about living in the country (or as some would call it "the sticks" ... right asshat?) Is the fact that at night my backyard becomes a veritable insect jungle. That might bother some folks but for a guy who loves his camera (thanks again Queenie,) almost as much as sex, it simply means there is always something to digitally document. Purely in the interest of science, of course. **AHEM** Anyway, here's just a taste of the drama that unfolded last night on my back porch.
Have I mentioned I love living in the country? Now if we only had a Books A Million with a Joe Muggs inside, I wouldn't have to move to the city! Have a great rest of your weekend ya'll.
