This week, guest host, I. J. Khanewala, is looking at The Ordinary as the topic for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. Whilst walking round the track at our local gym last week, I couldn’t help thinking that this ordinary piece of exercise equipment bore a strong resemblance to the praying mantis in our garden, only on a much larger scale. Once the idea got into my head, it persisted until finally I had to stop and whip out the phone to take a picture.
Haha.. love this! and shared on twitter 🙂
Thanks, Liz!
You are quite right about the resemblance.
I think I was getting a bit light-headed by the end of my walking session. I could have sworn I saw it move!
Excellent comparison Sue! Great photos!
Thanks, Anne!
😊
Hey well spotted. They look very similar.
Thank you, Anne!
😊
That’s a great comparison. Very well noticed
Thank you! I walked past it so many times, I couldn’t get the image out of my head. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to use a picture that I probably would never have posted otherwise.
Oh, this is just wonderful! Well spotted!
Thank you, Ann-Christine!
Good comparison! If I had one of those exercise benches at home it would look just like that. EMPTY!
Haha! I feel the same way, John. Walking is quite sufficient exercise for me.
OK, I saw the bug immediately when I looked at the first image but then I saw the second one and was blown away by the similarity – great catch Sue!
Many thanks, Tina!
Gym equipment … perfect 👍
Isadora 😎
Thank you, Isadora! I must admit I wouldn’t even begin to know what to do with it. I’d much rather sit in the garden and watch the mantis.
👍🏻 me too 😀
Perfect juxtaposition!
Thank you!
Hahaha great post!
It does look like a mantis
Thank you, Yvette!
Wow! Good catch.
Many thanks, Rupali.
