I have been trying for weeks to get a good picture of a grasshopper...including yesterday morn. We were out in the country and grasshoppers were everywhere. That is until I would try to get close to one, and it was as if they would disappear from the face of the earth. So I would focus on something else, and soon I would notice the hoppers being around again. Still no luck.After one such stop, I got in the Rav and got buckled in only to notice this fellow on the windshield. I took a picture or two, and we continued on. He stayed with us. For several miles in fact. I finally thought to get this close-up before I buckled in on one of the stops. I think he flew away before we stopped again.
As for the top two photos, we pulled up to a stop sign and Roger says look; at the base of the stop sign someone had planted these hollyhocks. Even though it was the middle of the day, they made for some fair shots.
You did good to get a grasshopper. The flowers are so delicate looking.
ReplyDeleteHa! I know how had it is to get certain photos, But hey! You DID it. ;-) In fact, it's a great shot of a grasshopper.
ReplyDeleteI kike the hollyhocks too.
That's a really great shot of the grasshopper! I love the color of the second flower.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful. You can keep the grasshopper. :)
ReplyDeleteI just realized, and after reading that this guy is on the windshield. I was trying to imagine where else you took it. Glass patio table.
