Bamboo and The Mantis

The watchful eyed Mantis is a beneficial predator for the organic garden. This one was photographed just outside my back door on on of the bannana trees.
This is the ever changing corner of my garden. There is a bat house hidden in the bamboo and a traditional bird's bath surrounded by mixed perennials.

A very nice backdrop for my Bonsai trees.
