Seems to be more of these arriving this year. Heard at least 6 different birds this morning
Heavy crop due to vegetation...great to see and hear in the same clump i photographed them the last time...this is from the last encounter in 21...Baron's Haugh NR, Motherwell
This grasshopper decided to pay me a visit and hopped up on to me for awhile. Nayanquing Point State Wildlife Area - Pinconning, Michigan
You see hundreds of grasshoppers when you walk over a meadow at the moment but they rarely want to pose for a photo and disappear as soon as you approach them with a camera. This one at least sat still for a few seconds, he probably relied on his camouflage but then decided to seek cover instead.
Macro f/6.3. It was actually shot with a Sony telephoto lens @ 525mm APS-C. I was standing maybe 7-8 feet from the grasshopper. Love this lens.
The wildflower is a cocklebur.
Grasshopper is/was 2" long. Image is approximately 2.75" W x 1.85" H.
This guy was on the outside of the sliding glass door to our deck. The photo was shot from inside the house looking out; the parallel vertical lines of the deck rail supports are visible in bokeh.

This was one of the coolest looking Grasshoppers that I've ever seen. I took a photo of it while I was kayaking at Blackwater. Right after I took this photo it jumped onto my hand and I had a hard time getting it to go back onto the reeds. Photographed in Maryland.
Focus stack of 6 images, shot with the camera hand held. Canon 80D, Canon MPE 65mm macro lens, Canon twin macro flash. Aperture f/11, shutter speed 1/250, ISO 400.
Loggerheaded Shrikes stick their prey on barbed wire (or any other spikey thing like cactus) to eat later. Husband saw the Shrike I saw the grasshopper.

Also, after looking at this more over the past year, I'm really amazed how well this turned out for f/20. I think the bright, direct mid-day summer sunlight reflecting off the smooth, light colored concrete helped to fill in the light on the underside of the insect. I think that was also why I was able to still retain some color in the sky shooting that stopped down, which otherwise would have been black at another time of day. I was also using a 16mm extension tube, which has a negligible effect on magnification, but it does reduce light even more (at least that is my understanding of tubes).
Anita and I had the most wonderful and Long day out yesterday! (14 hours!) Different people often are interested in riding along with us but we tell them they must be prepared to endure a 12-14 hour day riding, which sometimes includes backtracking, getting sidetracked or just going in circles! They will change their minds at this point! We were headed to what we call the "Fairy Forest" in West Virginia and I do have photos of that to come! But of course we stopped along the way and were sidetracked often. I found this little fellow in a small garden on Mainstreet in the village of Durbin West Virginia, population about 225 people. This is a small railroad town where you can catch an excursion train and where I visited once ten years ago, a few months after the death of my husband. It was my first solo trip without him and so this town holds some memories for me. And now, I've made more! :D Hope you all had a brilliant weekend and are now enjoying a wonderful start to your week.

"My dear young fellow,' the Old-Green-Grasshopper said gently, 'there are a whole lot of things in this world of ours you haven't started wondering about yet.“

Spotted this grasshopper on a walk, it was crossing the road too ;-)
Have a wonderful Thursday !
This obliging little grasshopper sat nicely and posed for a few shots for me yesterday. Taken handheld while sat by the side of a local pond It was fantastic to see and hear so much wildlife around me.
When taking macro images you're trying to frame the subject and rock gently back and forwards to get full focus, whilst squeezing the cameras trigger at the right time - all the while hoping that the subject doesn't just fly or jump away.
This means that a lot of the time you don't register the tiny details in the subject until the image is on the computer screen during processing.
This was the case with this image. Although I saw the grasshopper I had no idea that there was a small spider off to the left of the leaf.
