Yesterday, i went to the seashore together with my friend just to unwind because i felt mad about my project in school. Seashore was just near in our house approximately 40 meters away. One thing catches my eyes as i go walking back and forth, I saw this ASIAN MANTIS playing with the feather of the duck. As if this creature was enjoying seeing the feather moving as he touches it.

This is a SULFUR COSMOS flowers. It has a variety colors of orange and yellow. What i brought for you today is the cosmos having an orange color but later on I'll bring you also the yellow color of this cosmos plant.
