Found this grasshopper hopping around in the yard. They are everywhere out here. Some are green, some are brown.
I held him in my hand for quite sometime before he hopped to this flowering weed.
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!

  Thanks so very much Lynn, nope, no tripod. Grasshoppers are hard to get with the just the camera let alone trying to do it wiith a tripod lol. I had fun chasing him around from plant to plant though.

  Exceptional macro here, Dianna!!! The detail, colors & focus are all excellent my friend!!! I am picturing you running around in your garden from plant to plant like some tribal dance. Did you have music in the background?

  TAMMY, NO stomping on the grasshoppers, they are friendly. Course their legs feel a little weird rububg when you catch them. Probably one of the only insects I don't mind besides butterflys lol.
Thanks so very much and have a great night!

Hey Dianna, had to check your gallery again, I hadn't been there this afternoon, having server problem's, so being on is when it allows me too.
YES, must be a grasshopper day lol, I just love there look they give us, just to funny. I really enjoyed this one.
Thanks so very much and will head over to comment on your in a bit. Have a nice night! Hope all is well with you and Sara.

PATRICK, I FORGIVE YOU lol...I don't have a garden, just fields and a yard. They were everywhere in the field yesterday, was chasing them for more photo's lol. Had a lot of fun, no music though.
Thanks for the encouraging words, and have a super night!

  Sorry I'm late my friend. Got caught up in all the dedications and had to take a break.
The wait was worth it. This one made it into the top spot of my 10 best photos you have done. Stunning macro, super explosive color, clarity crystal sharp.
Just a fantastic work of art. You get my VDNP award for this.
Outstanding my friend
