So, for Kitty, and for my own enjoyment, here is my grasshopper. it was taken outside my front door at the house that is now owned by my daughter, Rita. As you can see, I got right down there eye to eye with the creature. He didn't seem to mind posing for me. In fact, he pretty much ignored me and my camera and just continued sunning himself, letting the world go by.
No summery pictures in Kitty's blog today, even though it involves sunny California. She
and Mike went looking for snow so that Isaac could learn what life is like in other climes. It started my morning off with a chuckle. Don't guess Kitty was chuckling when they met the Sheriff of Mariposa. (Why does the fact that "mariposa" means "butterfly" crack me up?)But I'm reasonably sure that Isaac's first experience with real snow will be something he will remember as a fun thing when he looks back on it years from now.
How cute he is! and I can see that he wasn't one bit afraid. I had a similar encounter with a praying mantis several years ago; he wasn't afraid either...even though he was a baby.
ReplyDeleteI have a few great praying mantis shots - he was perched there on the window screen, scared Siren LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll post them one of these days.
I love your grasshopper, he looks like he's hugging the flower or clapping or praying ... see that's why it's such a great shot - you can see so many things in it.
Great grasshopper, seemingly at peace with the world.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at your clever, thieving squirrels... they sound like burly fellows....... Deb
What a cute little grasshopper! Love the picture. When I was a little girl, I would get all mixed up and call them hopwhoppers. Maybe that's why grasshoppers always make me smile.
