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.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

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.
