Mantises are elegant insects that I admire. In summer they are green and this autumn I’ve been noticing they have turned brown. Photographer Lindy LeCoq recently featured a photo of a fall mantis on her blog.

My name is Janice.  I started blogging as Ontheland when I moved from Toronto to a rural area near Kingston, Ontario in Canada.  Over time I have found myself writing poetry, mostly in Japanese forms, such as haiku and haibun.  One of my deepest interests is the natural world: the joy of it and how we can look after it better.
