Test...first portrait shot I took and wanted to see how the morning light looked (his face is a little dark I think). Have moved close to the woods for better (background) looking shots.

Your critters are very handsome looking boys....I would have to agree I have never seen a brown mantis either....

Thank you...I'm already in trouble with those eyes...on both of them! I took this one earlier this evening, right before the younger one came down with a fever. I think today was "hawaiian shirt" day because daddy was wearing one too!

This is a gorgeous shot. Boy, in a few years, these two will be heartbreakers. Good luck.
