A grasshopper I saw this morning while doing some much needed raking in my yard. I loved this pose it was showing off and wanted to share with you. Hope you enjoy!

Looks like he's getting ready to take off or pounce. Great detailed photo. What are you doing raking leaves on Thanksgiving when you could be in the house watching football? lol. It's so green, but I forgot you reside in the Carolinas. Good post Eileen.

They say everybody should have a conscience. Looks like you've found yours, taken an excellent close-up of it and I hope called it Jiminy Cricket.

In thumbnail, I though it looked as though he was sitting on green and yellow beans!! That's one amazing macro.

Wonderful detailed captured here Eileen. I'm surprised you noticed this little guy ... he's a great example of camouflage blending into the surrounding grass so well. Good job.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
