After visiting these trial gardens for about 3 years now, for the first time I saw grasshoppers.

Thank you for viewing and commenting, and have a good day. It's cloudy, and rainy here today!

Great capture Sandi. The colors and clarity as always are spot on. Good thing you caught him before he ate it.

As all have said details are top notch - even if it is a bug!

I have some of them around here this year, more than in the past three years. So far they are leaving the roses alone! Fine capture.

This is like capturing the Beauty and Beast. (Beast for those who don't like bugs). The clarity and details of both are just perfect.

Maybe I will be lucky enough to come across a grasshopper on a foofy, some time. I can only hope! Fantastic color and clarity of this great shot, Sandi.

I've decided that from this moment forward, I'm going to call you Cindy, and Cindy Sandi. It was 93° here, but there no humidity; so it didn't really feel hot. Once again there were no clouds, no coastal fog, chance of precipitations was 0%. We did have a high surf advisory because of a storm that started in New Zealand. I went to Avila Beach to shoot the star fish and sea urchins in the tide pools. Between the high surf and high tide, there was no beach.

This is another great close up, Cindy. Did I mention that the beach on Sunday was windy, Cindy, and sandy, Sandi? Your macros or close up's have been fabulous lately.

Happy Labor Day. Have a pleasant tomorrow.

He has found his meal for the day! Stunningly sharp image like usual! Love the background colors very much and well as the composition.
