No real camera time this weekend & have had to draw on last weeks shots.
The green grasshopper is a fairly common sight, but here his cousin was a
slightly unusual. It blended so well with the Princess De Sagan rose it was eating it's way through


Zac's comment has prompted me to add no chemical sprays or non chemical either for that matter
are used in my garden. Bugs come & go, the damage they do is minimal & since my garden is not for showcasing or the plants in it I long ago gave up on the idea that perfection is warranted

Wow, what a catch! Nicely composed, too.

I really like looking at all your bug photos that you take,
they are always different and interesting to look at...
Guest 16-Nov-2005 20:54
The antennae tell the tale. Extraordinary.

Super shot dear Laine! Great details and like the angle! Remembers one of shots ;-)
Cheers

His antenea take up the whole 3rd of the pic!
D'ya suppose they get arthitis the way we do, cause my knees just ache at the position he's in. Good shot Laine.
CJ Burianek15-Nov-2005 00:14
Love the antennea! And his contrast against the white is beautiful!

Lovely composition Laine. Nice colouring and detail too.
Karen Stuebing14-Nov-2005 12:27
Neat bug shot. He looks like he's getting ready to jump to that leaf in the background. I agree about the use of chemicals.

I feel the same way you do about the garden...just enjoy, no need for perfection. Besides, these guys make wonderful photos! These two are great. I have never seen one the color of his "cousin"!

Interesting perspective, laine. I like the white of the flower, the sharpness of it and of the grasshopper too!

Great white balance and interesting little fellow.
Guest 13-Nov-2005 21:29
I keep flinching ... he looks as it he is about to jump on you! :)
