Grasshopper

[Ryewolf]

A first for me, I usually hear them but can never see them, today I was lucky and saw loads. These were the best....

They always remind me of the film Quatermass and the Pit, which scared the life out of me when I was young.

You did well.
I never hear them around here.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Nanny, I hear them a lot, though very rarely see them. I saw two different types, the green ones here and brown/grey stripey one - which alas was OOF.

The first shot is a good one.

Thanks Kev, I did have to lie down on the path to get it at eye level, wasn't sure about the grass stalks either side of the grasshopper, whether they distracted or not, but did like they way it was looking through them.

2nd has great contrast - stands out very nicely.

Thanks Paul, just hapened to see it jump and land on the path infront of me at Brockholes. Did try and get a lower viewpoint but it jumped away - as they do.

Ah Grasshopper...man who lie down on path .... more likely get an eyeful  !

Nice shots RW ... That first one is definitely looking at you!
