Close encounter in a sunflower field

In her poem, "The Summer Day," Mary Oliver describes a grasshopper, "who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes." Yesterday afternoon, after meeting this grasshopper in a field of sunflowers, she posed so nicely for me, all the while fixing me with her "enormous and complicated eyes."

 

Happy August, everyone!
