Grasshopper Up Close & Personal!

(MT & TW for survivors.)

I finally found a grasshopper the other day who would let me get closs enough to get some pictures! I cropped them down and blew them up for an "up close & personal" look.



He was resting away on a rock down by the creek.







Isn't this a face only a mother could love?? *smile*












This is a close up of the wing.






This is the hind leg.










This is the main body.






This is the front leg and foot.









This is the middle leg and foot.

I'm surprised that it didn't just hop away and you could get so many good pictures!

Yes! I had already tried several times, but for some reason, this one allowed me to get close. I moved very slowly!
