Until today, I’d never seen a praying mantis in Washington State. Cool little creature. Very alien looking.

A praying mantis hides well on a stubby brown and green plant, blending in like a fat stick.

Outside, I can hear a man howling like a wolf. ARROOOOOOOOOOOO…

An obese tabby cat lays on her back with her feet in the air.

I ❤️ Seattle

Sunset at the end of a pier. A ferry in the water. A post laden with skinny directional signs is dark in the foreground. A path of reflective water between two piers on the Seattle waterfront. Blue-orange sunset lighting. The Great Wheel in neon to the right. blocky steel and glass buildings reflect the light of the sunset. The Puget Sound at Sunset with a view of The Great Wheel. A seagull soats abobe the rippled blue water.
