Great photo, Tom!
Thanks Wayne!
Excellent shot with an intriguing composition. Why was it on a rock? Did it find bugs?

Thanks for your comment, Rick!
He was excavating on top of a fallen log for whatever invertebrates could be found. He was quite bold to my presence, allowing me to take some interesting photos.
Nice photo – where was it taken?
Thanks Elizabeth!
This photo was taken on the periphery of Skidmore’s Northwoods right nearby our chapel.
I was a bridesmaid at a wedding in the chapel. Long time ago!
Very cool! It’s a nice space.
