Consider the Grasshopper

Posted by lisaonthebeach on

I discovered this guy in the flower bush when photographing the bees.

I am amazed that he stayed still, watching me as I snapped photos.  Even as I moved around, he watched patiently.  I wonder, can he sense that I am harmless, and will soon move on?  I hope so.  I think the purple flowers and green leaves around him added a beautiful contrast.

What a unique creature 🙂

    Nice job on the depth of field. The pink yet blurred background really brings interest to the grasshopper and the pretty blossom. 😊

      Thank you! These flower bushes are so beautiful. They are Texas Rangers. I scour the neighborhood on the weekends for photo ops 🙂

        Had never heard of that flower. Wonder if I’ve seen it and just didn’t know what it was. 😊

    It’s nice that you can get such pretty flower colors behind him. He or she seems to interested in you, too.

    They seem to be very patient or not afraid of humans—I’ve also noticed that!!
