WOWSERS LARRY .. !! ..
you have definitely shown this bug in all its glory .. and the details are fascinating ..
i've had a 'problem' with stink bugs on my mandarin tree during summer .. they are literally the only insect i kill .. i spray them with a mixture of detergent and water .. i keep telling them not to come back but they ignore me to their detriment .. ;)

Hahahahahahah Roz , You are hitting the nail on MY head. It is funny how you get so wrapped up in life, that you forget or loose touch, with the things that really bring you joy. Photography, and all aspects of the process have been a huge passion for me over the years and a lot of that passion came from the DPC challenges and the spirit of this community. I carry my camera and gear with me 24/7, but lately and for longer than I will admit, I never bring them out to shoot. As I look forward to 2023 I hope to get motivated and reignite and reintroduce myself to the shutter button on my camera. You might see a few more entries from me in the not too distant future. I have 2 lovely granddaughters/models(LOL) now who have never met the umbrella man. Where did I leave my bowler...? Thanks for the very kind words Roz I appreciate them more than you could know.

i'm not sure whether i saw this reply from a couple of years ago ..
but i've come to check you out since the pm ..
and have looked at so many of the photos you entered in challenges ..
which is how i came to see your reply ..

its interesting how 'time' can get away ..
dont leave it too long before entering again ..
if the rest of the remainder are anything like me your presence would be greatly appreciated .. :)
