A Grasshopper in DC

I thought all the pests were in congress.

This photo and the next one were the first things I saw when I got out of the car upon our arrival in DC.
I was a little surprised to see such pretty colors so early and even more surprised to see a grasshopper on
a city street.

Nikon D5000
1/500s f/5.6 at 200.0mm iso900 full exif
