dh and brother was taking pallets apart last weekend ,  and when I brought some coffee out to them,  we  saw this praying mantis on one pallets. so i went and got my camera,and started to shot away.  and as i was doing so, dh went  back to work. and hit the one the mantis was on ,  you can tell what was on it's mind!

what a morning shine!

was walking in the park the other day, and guess what I found?

I found  THE SMURFS  hideout , 

somemore fall shot from around home

The trees in our backyard are starting to show their  fall colors

where we stopped to eat on our trip,

the black spots over the trees   are the clouds,

and we kept climbing up, and I thought Missouri was hilly ;)  

went on a road trip to Arkansas and this is one of the stops  we make,  ya  will have  to click on the pictures to read what the sign says
