There was an almost battle this morning between a Praying Mantis and Ms. Yellow Garden Spider. Ms. Mantis began slowly approaching.....

Anticipating this, I quickly moved the camera and waited.

Ms. Mantis apparently had second thoughts and stopped to confer with me on the proposed invasion of the spiders lair. I advised her it would be a losing battle. That lady spider was almost as big as Ms. Mantis, and had an upper advantage of poison, hit and run speed, and sticky webbing.

She took my advice and retreated to other territories where she would find food that was less risky.

I gave Ms. Spider a nice mist to take a bath in. It's been very dry here, and she seemed to appreciate the dew.

Turkeys are out of control around here. We have to stop constantly for them. Glad to see they are doing the same routine in other areas. LOL
 
I keep fussing around with Adobe Photoshops' Generative fill feature, and after many attempts at getting something believable and worthwhile, I've decided I will just stick with my own creations. They take set up time and thinking, but I am much happier with results.

First I asked generative fill to provide me with "moon and stars" in a selected area. I got a beautiful red pepper with a long stem. LOL
Then I asked generative fill to give me a waterfall in a selected area. I got a goldfish? Cute....but nothing even close to what I asked for. :laughtwo:

I suppose it looks like an under water trichome reef....
