New Adventure to End March

 Hey Hey Everyone, its the End of March today and something special just seemed to happen today outside my house which was one of my prey Mantis eggs sacks just hatched.. I have 9 more to go and many more photos to come and lots of blog post about them. I was not aware they were going to hatch today, but I was wrong. They did indeed hatch today. I have had 2 successful years of prey Mantis hatchings in my yard. I adventured outside of my house to see what was going on and found this Prey Mantis egg sack hatching and starting taking many photographs of this occurring which was very cool to photograph as well. I am hoping to photograph many more of this stage of the prey mantis coming out of the shaft of the egg case next time when some more hatch in my yard.

Monday color 27

 Happy Monday color 27 for my blog. This a Lenten Rose I decide to post for this Monday color post on my blog.  Why are Lenton Roses called this? Lenton roses are called this because they are the earliest blooming and they bloom during Lent season  and they are perennial flowers and deer don’t like the smell of them. So if you have chance plant some Lenton Roses in your garden  and they bloom three out of the four season. Have a great Monday  

Severe weather

 Hey hey it’s severe weather for a new topic on my blog this time since it’s spring and severe weather happens a lot during the spring.  There are four types of severe weather which include tornadoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms, flooding and hail storms. The first thing we are going to talk about is Thunderstorms.  What is a thunderstorm? A thunderstorm is produced by surface heating and any air that is available. A severe thunderstorm is much different than thunderstorms  and during severe thunderstorms, there is hail, winds over 50 mph and could possibly produce a tornado in them. A thunderstorm watch is an area that thunderstorms could occur and Thunderstorm warnings are when severe thunderstorms have been spotted and you need to take shelter immediately and don’t go outside that someone I know who does this is  (Al D who takes pictures of lightning which is not supposed to be doing it).  Now we are going to talk about tornadoes that occur during  severe thunderstorms. Does everyone
