"'You sit by yourself grasshopper. What do you think of?' -Master Po 'My mother, my father. Both gone. I am alone.' 'You hear the flock of birds flying overhead? You hear the fish? The beetle?' To all of this the young Caine nods. 'In this crowded place you feel alone. Which of us is the most blind?"* ............. Whenever I think of grasshopper, I always think of the old tv series "Kung-Fu". The blind master always called his young student Grasshopper. This quote is from the tv series................ *found on www.kungfu-guide.com Thank you all in advance for your comments & views!!

I make the same association, Dan, but my grandkids are quick to object when I say, "Patience, Grasshopper." You've done an excellent job capturing this insect; you caught him in a moment of contemplation. Loved your additional thoughts on it! - Patty

Heh, I'd just looked at the new images gallery, went and uploaded a picture of a grasshopper on a flower I just took, came back here, and saw that this had just appeared. Yours is much better than mine, though. ;-)

Anyway, this looks great! Not blurry, and the flowers provide a good backdrop for the grasshopper.

Terrific shot, Dan. Grasshopper say, "White flower, perfect choice".

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

One of my favorite shows back in the day. This is a great capture Dan- so clear and detailed. Looks as though he's enjoying your flowers.
