Grasshopper

Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain. ~~Henry David Thoreau

Look who we found hopping around the truck. He/she seemed quite unconcerned and jumped onto B's hat big as you please.

  1. A grasshopper, eh? Any ants around? Now that September's here maybe it's a reminder we're going to have to become more industrious? ;)

  2. I can never get enough of studying the details found in nature. Isn't that grasshopper a work of art?

  3. @Carol, I've seen quite a few ants as well. They don't photograph well. Too tiny and they won's stand still. lol This time of the year always reminds me of the work ahead before winter.

    @Patti, I really like the photo for some reason. I agree that nature is art.
