My childhood nightmares

Before I became a nature lover and tree hugger, I did have some irrational fears as a child. You already know about my dragonfly phobia. I was convinced they would bite me AND sting me at the same time.





Also, did anyone else have their mom and/or relatives tell them not to look caterpillars in the eye? I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only one who believed this crazy tale! I have a sinking feeling.....


Anyways, I'm proud to say I'm over the dragonfly and caterpillar thing. Now the snakes and spiders.......NEVER!!! (P.S. What insect or animal are you afraid of? I can't be the only scaredy cat....)

A fish story

Somewhere, across the lake....






...a man and his son go fishing at dusk.






They cast and they cast.....







...until the father shows the son how it's done. But.....






...they didn't catch one as big as my baby girl Scout!! Now who's a good girl?!! Scout is! Come to mommy for a big smoochie!
