    I'm not sure what that is (other than an insect). It looks like something on the grasshopper-katydid-praying mantis-walking stick spectrum, but not anything I am familiar with. It also looks like it's missing one of its big back jumpy-leggy things(?). :/

    Nah, it was the angle. I have another shot for you. The thing was pretty good size for a grasshopper. The body alone was close to three inches....

    Billy didn't know how to use the wrench.

    You know better than that. Billy wasn't offering full disclosure.

    Bird? You lost me...
    Near as I can tell, those are throw pillows in the back of the shag'n-wag'n.
    Thanks to the abilities of Google Lens, I found this from the same photo shoot, but with the shrubbery missing.

    Well you know that at least I am from the UK - but didn't get your "little joke". Is it the "tickle your fanny" reference? If so, you may be the wrong sex. Or was that the joke?

    Yes, precisely. From a British perspective, most of the members here are fanny-free.
    Not that I mean to judge, of course.
