At dusk the other day, this little Speckled bush-cricket (I think it's one) crawled around on the lawn at home. A little sluggish, it moved slowly and I followed with macro and flashes. On its way, it enters this red-blasted leaf and stops balancing on the edge of the leaf and licks its leg. I had a flash thrown out on the ground obliquely behind to the right, which illuminated the leaf, and then a flash from above from the left as main light. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to adjust the exposure to the maximum so the background became a bit dark.
Regardless, the little dance between us was the treasure of the evening. 😀 Shortly after this photo was taken, it used its powerful hind legs and flew away into invisibility ... I managed in some strange way to lift my old body to a barely standing position and staggered and stumbled to the warm abode of home...😆😂 happy in the mood like this on an autumn evening in October... and thought in my quiet mind.. it's all good and fine here at home anyway..😍

Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America) or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
These two, crossing the log, made me think of Robin Hood and Little John … I wonder which is which.

A beautiful lilac bush grows in my backyard. in 2013 it got cut way back. 7 years later it is finally as full as it was then. I couldn't resist taking many photo images with my Canon, then with my IPhone 11 Pro I took a few more at different angles. My favorite photography is Macro with Bokeh thrown into the mix. Bokeh is when you focus on one item whether background or foreground, zoom in on it and blur the rest of the image. I also like to layer my Photo Images giving them a dimensional look. This makes for interesting and unusual photos. The lilac is my favorite flower besides the Poppy. I love its fragrance and the differentiating purple colors.

It is nice to be able to see reflecting waters after a long winter of frozen lakes, Bush Lake, Bloomington, MN on 5-23-23.
Encelia farinosa (commonly known as brittlebush, brittlebrush, or incienso), is a common desert shrub of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It has a variety of historical uses. The fragrant leaves contain a plant growth inhibitor 3-Acetyl-6-methoxybenzaldehyde.
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Burgers' Bush is een overdekte ruimte van anderhalve hectare in Burgers' Zoo (de dierentuin van Arnhem), waarin een stukje tropisch regenwoud is nagemaakt waar mens en dier vrij kunnen rondlopen. In deze ruimte, die in 1988 geopend werd, krijgen mensen een indruk van hoe een regenwoud eruitziet. Sommige dieren in de biotoop hebben geen vaste verblijfplaats waardoor de bezoeker ze op allerlei plekken kan tegenkomen, ook op de onverharde paden.

Burgers' Bush is a covered area of one and a half hectares in Burgers' Zoo (Arnhem's zoo), in which a piece of tropical rainforest has been recreated where humans and animals can roam freely. In this room, which was opened in 1988, people get an impression of what a rainforest looks like. Some animals in the biotope do not have a permanent residence, so visitors can encounter them in all kinds of places, including on the unpaved paths.
