Baby Grasshopper the Size of a Grain of Rice
Would you just LOOK at this cutie pie?! I was wandering around our property looking for subjects to photograph when I spotted a tiny dark speck on a flower stem. "OH! I know what YOU ARE!!" I crouched down and crept slowly closer and closer, clicking away as I went. The little guy wasn't afraid of me so I got to move around to just the right angle for this nice side view! Hooray!!
This is my second day of taking pictures after taking a very long break. I definitely need to practice my distance judgement and correct aperture but I've managed to get some good pictures each day. Tomorrow I'll go back and retake a bunch of pictures that had various issues.
The best news is that my delight for photography has returned as strongly as ever.
I am so dreadfully BORED of taking pictures on our property but the fact of the matter is that, at macro level, our 26 acres contains a LIFETIME of unique opportunities, Even at normal size, I should be able to find countless interesting images that are different. It's hard to drum up the enthusiasm, even though I know this. However, I'm so happy to be taking pictures again, and I'm excited to explore our world at a micro level for the next week as I hone my skills again! :)
Explored on April 11, highest placement, #46

Ik hoop dat het bij deze ene sprinkhaan blijft en dat het geen plaag word ,net als destijds met die mieren!
Ik heb jouw hele verhaal over de mierenplaag gelezen en ik vond het fantastisch!
Ik wens jou een prettige vakantie en kijk nu al vooruit naar jouw volgende foto,s.
Hartelijke groeten.......Frans.
