visitor on the windowsill

After Bentley and I ran a few errands, we came home to find this lovely visitor on our windowsill. I forced myself to get closer, not just with my camera, but with the quarter to be able to show you his size (Aren't you proud of me honey!). Now, if you're not from good ole Western Washington, this may be unimpressive to you, however, if you are from here, this too would be an anomaly on your front porch.


Bentley was very excited about the find, however, this is about as close as she got. She pointed and kept saying "I a touch" ("I want to touch") but when I made a motion toward the beetle and said "Go ahead," she folded her arms and said, "Scared."
