The orchid mantis is a big weird lanky bug, which is relatable, but she also rocks high-femme fashion while being a terrifying predator with swords for arms, which is aspirational.
@dumpling Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! I had been wondering if it was actually worthwhile to post pictures.
I usually post in bursts, because I don't really get out all that much but when I do I take a lot of pictures.
Another white water lily, I like the effect of the drops on the leaves.

More water lilies. I just learned they are also called "white nenuphars", a suitably grand name.

There is a little loch in the Rothiemurchus forest called the Lilly Loch, and this is the time of the year when the waterlilies are out.

I am a strange person and I am not ashamed of it.
So I got serious about doing art.
Then I painted evil saints.
Then I painted naked saints.
Now I've bought gold golor to paint the nimbus of the naked, evil saints more beautifully. ✨

@Eidon Hi Eidon, thanks for getting in touch. I'm fine, I was back at work but I have another day off today. I've decided to limit my fedi time, too many other things going on in real life.
How are you? I hope the job hunting goes well, don't let it stress you out!
Loch Morlich is a large (several km2) loch close to Aviemore. It has a beautiful sandy beach and great views -- and seagulls.

@Nightingalle Thanks! It's a dead branch, they bleach to this pale grey colour.
