Bad hair day
This is what happens when being a nature addict goes wrong. To be honest I was hacking down thistle in my pasture when one of them attacked. It took me about 20 minutes to get them out of my hair. My family helped me out by laughing at me. Let's count this as a lesson learned.

Mama wolf spider
I caught this mama wolf spider in the act...of carrying her eggs. I had heard about this but had never seen it, till now. What a good mama she is.

Wheel bugs first day at College
Tonight I was at Hood College to do ice breakers with the freshmen on their first day at college. I get out of the car and look down and here is this awesome creature. It's a wheel bug! So of course being the nature addict I am I had to take a closer look. That's the beautiful thing about being a nature addict, its so easy to find nature anywhere and get a thrill out of it. It's a beautiful thing.
Fairy town
Giant mushrooms, run for your lives!!!! Okay perhaps a bit dramatic, but these are still big mushrooms. I imagine that these are big enough mushrooms to house a fairy town. If fairies exist this is where I imagine they would hang out. Okay off to dream of fairy town.

Owl Prowl at My House
Praying Mantis Plays Ball
see everyday. I can loose myself for hours just watching them do their bug thing. I've been know to lay in my yard with my camera trained on a bug doing something I find fascinating. I don't remember being this bug obsessed with bugs as a child but am happy to report that as an adult I am a total bug addict.
