Abstract Thursday

This pretty green bug is an awful-sounding guy...he is a Green Stink Bug. I was hoping he was something sweet, but, no, he is quite a pest. 

For Abstract Thursday, I thought the leaf had a nice pattern and colors. Thanks, Ingeborg for hosting this interesting challenge.

Ellie came over this afternoon and our daughter & Ellie had fun chatting. Ellie is very expressive and interested in many things; Lori enjoys being with her, I am grateful.
