This is a first for me.
I was inspired to enter Camera Critters by today's photo submitted by me ann my camera. I love her submission, and when I saw it I thought of this picture I took in my front yard many years ago. He's appeared in my blog before. I just decided he belonged here. I love grasshoppers and crickets.
For more fun pictures, visit Camera Critters. Thanks to the host who lets us enjoy these pictures every week.
My daughter, Kitty, emailed me today with the suggestion that I post a photo that I took years ago with my trusty old Pentax. I think it's a fun photo. Always liked it. In fact, at one point I even had some cards made up with it. It's on my bedroom wall, and it always makes me smile.
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.
