the 4th day of may




i've been trying to make bouquets out of what i can find around here & up the matai valley, this bundle of foliage includes the very last of the strawberries from our patch. i love to collect & hold magnolia leaves at this time of year, that central yellow fade to a brown edge is so pretty. louis had a praying mantis as a pet for a while, we feed it insects we caught but it really was disturbing watching it eat them from the inside out. they give me the heeby jeebies, this one had his dukes up ready for a bit of powpow, ever the aggressor. did you know they sometimes eat their mates? ew.
