I had to include a couple if extra pics this week too, so you really get the idea :) and the little thing also made some great shadows as well
He tired to get away and then I had to contend with the tears and try my hardest to explain why this wasn't really the best pet to try and play with ;)
Don't forget to join in the shadow fun at Hey Harriets (click on the picture in the sidebar for more info)

I love this shot! The bug is cool, but my favorite part is the shadow of your little guy trying to touch it. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThey are all great shots! I really love the close up of the bug!!
ReplyDeleteSuper shadow...from this cool guy..he's a little on the skinny side though lol..love the first one with your fascinated onlooker! :D
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Makes me miss my boys when they were that age and it was all about the bugs! lol Great shadow shots! :)
ReplyDeleteLove these shadows!
ReplyDeleteI agree! The stick insect creates a delicate, beautiful shadow!
And my favourite too is where the little guy reaches to touch it and the shadows don't quite meet! Delightful!
Ahhh, the praying mantis...what a grand creature to photograph and how innocent is the unfearing finger heading in it's direction. Great shot!

Lovely shots Bel - the insect casts such a delicate shadow (pretty dumb though, if I was a stick insect, I wouldn't be hanging around an inquisitive toddler for long ... even if he is gorgeous!)
ReplyDeleteSuper shots of the stick insect & your little guy trying to play with him. They're not the most playful creatures! They make cool shadows though :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is great..I always wanted to see one of these insects, but never did..Very interesting and I think I am not the only one, that thinks he is interesting..How cute he is..
ReplyDeleteYou can almost hear the screams coming from the bug!! How funny - it tells a story without saying anything (love those kind of pictures!!)
ReplyDeleteThe shadow of the walking stick are great too - nice work!
