praying mantis

 When showing a condo today in Bakers Bay .We politely waited outside while the other agent who was there before us  was showing her clients . There were lovely potted plants . When I looked closely I saw  a Praying Mantis that blended perfectly . I remembered reading somewhere they  were a symbol of good luck . I  called the buyers over to look we snapped a picture .  They love the condo .We wrote an offer to purchase .We will see if this Praying Mantis at Bakers Bay has a special symbolic  luck for the buyers . We are hoping so

For one reason or another I saw more of those this year than usual.  They are fascinating little creatures.

I must admit, Hannah, that if I ever saw a praying mantis, I would not know it. Hopefully, this one brings you the luck you are hoping for.

Hi Hannah Williams, you captured a great photo of this handsome guy. There was a Praying Mantis in my car not too long ago, he hung out with me until I got him to a safe area. Hope he will bring you good luck.

Hello Beth Atalay No luck but in the end I believe a better one will come up.What I find to be a rotten banana is that the agent never bothered to let us me know. My buyers found out on the Internet . I think this may be  a post

Thank you for joining the conversation
