Lazy Blogging Monkey

A thought occurred to me over the weekend - I won't bore you with the long, protracted thought process that lead to it - that I have been a lazy little monkey when it comes to the blogosphere.  Oh, I've been posting here and there, but I haven't been visiting blogs like I used to.  I scroll down the blog roll, stopping here or there, but really not very many places.  Then I go over to FB and fritter away my time looking at funny pictures or getting my information about the world in ten second burps. 

Thank goodness I never quite got addicted to Twitter.  (I sometimes wonder if that's due to the derth of technology around here.  Maybe Twitter is loads easier to use with a smart phone or a portable device of some kind than it is with my hulk of a desktop.  :shrug:)

Anyway, I'm going to make a concerted effort to be more active around the blogosphere - as well as trying to post more often here.  I may repeat myself here and there (cuz, hey, brain damage), but I'll try to make it entertaining. 

Now, for a little fun otherwise... Who can tell me what this is a picture of?

I'll come back later or tomorrow and let you know who was right.

    It kinda looks like a stick insect on a fence, but then you've got that mesh type background so maybe not. Or maybe its a close up of a stick insect on a carpet basher. Or a net or a screen door. Still thinking bug though...

      It's a giant walking stick on the wrought iron planter outside my sunroom window. And it was taken through a screen window, so you got it, Fran.

    It looks like a walking stick on your screen door. I love those bugs. I don't know why but I always think of them as lucky.

      Got it in one, Maria. It's actually a giant walking stick - and I wish the picture had been better because it really looked like the stick it was mimicking. If it hadn't been for the antennae, I wouldn't have even noticed it there.

      Yep, Stacy. We're lousy with bugs here. This is the first time I've seen that particular variety, though. The other walking sticks here are green but that one was gray.

    Don't know if it's a praying mantis or a walking stick. One's green, one's brown and your pic is monochromatic silhouette. How's that for being erudite on half a cup of coffee. ;)

    I like seeing you around. Just sayin'. :D

      Ah, taking pics through a screen in the shade. Washed the color right out, Silver. It was a gray giant walking stick. And yes, you were very erudite for being low on caffeine. ;o)

      I like being around. Yours is one of the few blogs I didn't get lazy about. =o)

    Is that an insect?? I've never seen one like that before!

    Like you, I'm much less active in the blogosphere than I used to be. It happened without me even realizing it! It's just so hard to keep up, plus when you add Facebook and Twitter to the mix... I might not ever get anything done. Sigh. All we can do is the best we can. :)
