I'm So Excited, and I Just Can't Hide It!!!

Our microscope was delivered to day, and I'm just so excited!! 

Fire and I will be studying human anatomy and physiology this fall,

therefore purchasing a good microscope was essential. 

To my delight,

I was able to use my digital camera to capture these shots. 

Let's play a game! 

Who can identify the most microscopic images?

Contestants must be under 18 years of age.

You may leave your answers as a comment to this blog,

but I won't post them until the winner is announced.

Game ends June 30, 2010!

The winner will get a prize!!!!

I love playing with the microscope. 

I feel like a little girl at Christmas. 

God has woven into me such an appreciation for His creation. 

My Heavenly Dad is totally AWESOME!!!

Predator and Prey: The Mosquito and The Spider

This mosquito found itself caught in the spider's web outside my kitchen window yesterday morning. The spider is difficult to see as its brown body blends with the brown tree trunk. Look carefully.

I watched as the much larger prey fought to free itself from the spider's web. The spider would occasionally approach the mosquito using its silk to anchor its leg to the sticky trap.

About an hour went by when Fire noticed the mosquito had finally freed itself from the web.

Not so with the Tomato Horn Worm which I posted about earlier. Once the parasitic eggs of the Braconid Wasp are attached to the worm, it will eventually die.

This Tomato Horn Worm was found in my garden. Follow the link to see why there is a predator and prey shown in this picture. Creation is amazing, because its Creator is AMAZING!!!
