I loved this cute little grasshopper so I added a bit of processing from Deep Dream. deepdreamgenerator.com
Not sure if I wasn't paying attention most of this summer or what, but today was the first time I came across / seen a Grasshopper.

Even the tiny grasshopper moves with a hope. Hope that
the next hop will make it land on a grass which is better
than the grass on which it is currently sitting.

An early morning visitor to the garden of the Villa nr Loule, Algarve. A very obliging Macro subject.
I found this grasshopper in the flower field at Drumlin Farm today. It's perched on a celosia flower.
I think this is a Common Green Grasshopper. I spotted this one land conveniently in the open on this stick which made it relatively easy to get a couple of shots.
I found this grasshopper on a wild iris, while hiking the Narnia Trail in Michigan's upper peninsula. I wonder if it's an immature grasshopper, since it's wings looks very small.
Tuesday morning the weather looked like it was going to be fabulous and I wanted to take advantage of it but had commitments from noon on so I decided to make a quick trip out to Brazos Bend to see if I could have any luck with the Henslow’s Sparrows that have been seen there recently. When I arrived, it looked like it was going to be a perfect morning and I did notice some sparrow activity before the sun came up. Not long after I got all set up for photos I was joined by Mike Williams (Twilly) who obviously also thought it might be a good morning for sparrows. We watched and waited and as things often happen with bird photography, nature ended up doing something different than what we expected. We did get a glimpse of a Henslow’s Sparrow but not really anything that lent itself to photography. What we did get was this Grasshopper Sparrow that was doing its best to look precious.
Mike and I had a good conversation and got some nice photos of this sparrow so I’m glad I went out. Nature always seems to give us a reward if we are open to it.

Despite the weather, Elle and I went grasshopper hunting and came up trumps! These are Large Marsh Grasshoppers and among the rarest in the UK. They're so special the I've even written a short blog post on them which features many more shots.

Not sure about identity but my best estimate is a female Eastern Toothed Bermius (Bermius odontocerus) by appearance. However, my home is a few hundred metres from the particular preferred creek habitat. Over to the expert field naturalists at this point ...
This grasshopper was huge! Saw it from the hotel balcony "flying" towards a plant about 20 feet away, at first I thought it was a bird. Jaco, Costa Rica.

Suddenly I'm seeing these very young (or very small!) grasshoppers around the house - this one was sitting on a mistflower leaf...

Found this little poem about a grasshopper on the internet. No name about the author.
Happy Sliders Sunday ;-))
The stubby-tailed and bull-necked Grasshopper Sparrow is easy to overlook throughout its range. When not singing its quiet, insectlike song from atop a stalk in a weedy pasture, it disappears into the grasses where it usually runs along the ground rather than flies. As sparrows go these birds are lightly marked, buffy tan with clean, unstreaked underparts contrasting with brown, gray, and orange above. The flat head, with an almost comically large bill for such a small bird, completes the distinctive look.
