A great thing about vacations is they give us time to stop and smell the flowers. In my case, the opportunity to see this lanky guy. He looks small but was in fact, at least two inches long.
So what, you may say, what's so great about a grasshopper? And that's my point. There's nothing very remarkable about a grasshopper unless you haven't seen one for a while.
He leapt from a bush and landed in front of me. He wandered around a little bit, not particularly fearful, or even very impressed that I was only inches away from him.
I drew closer. He twitched his antenna, rubbed his face, and looked expectantly back at me. I decided he wanted his fifteen seconds of fame. So here he is, in all his gangly glory.
A leggy guy who just wanted his picture taken.
