395. Plucky luck.

If what they say is true about crickets bringing good luck, I'm in for a ship-load of good luck!

This cricket was friendly. She introduced herself by hopping up onto my leg. I put her on my arm and she stayed for a while.

I eventually got a little creeped out and set her down for the tea pot picture. I thought she looked prettier there.

Are you?

*crickets*

The sound of crickets is commonly used to indicate that you are all alone. It's the audio equivalent of a blowing tumbleweed.

I did miss the joke, but I know it all too well.

In fact, I hear some now.

Yeah, that's subtle humor, starting with understanding that " *crickets* " means "the sound of crickets."

Great pics!

Yes, your arm is creeping me out too. :-)

And I would never kick a girl while she's down. xoxo
