the beetle

dude loves bugs. especially beetles. and his love for beetles and monster trucks is about equal.  so when he goes outside he's always on the hunt for a bug or three.

then he brings them in and tortures plays with them. sometimes they die, but most of the time they live and he releases them.

at this very second, he's watching me and seeing the screen and saying, "i love the beet-ole (beetle). because it won't bite me." i wish y'all could hear the way he talks. it's choppy and so cute. maybe i'll make that happen.

he's cute.

makes me wonder if he'll be the dare devil i originally thought he would be, or a nature guy when he grows up. we shall see.

he played with this beetle for probably an hour this day.

so hey, if bugs keep you out of trouble, then by all means, play with bugs, kid.

um, yeah, he's a photographer's kid. and i made this image a little overly warm. whoops.
