Grasshopper on the river bank


While sitting on the water's edge waiting for a view of a salmon or trout, Mishy had a great surprise!  I looked down beside me and there on the grass sat a tiny grasshopper!  At first it didn't really look alive let alone look much like a grasshopper.  It blended in so well with the dead leaves on the grass, I wasn't quite sure what it was.  But suddenly it seemed to look up at me as if to say, "well, are you going to take a picture or am I going to have to wait here all day?" So with that, I grabbed my camera from my bag as he  patiently waited for me to find the correct setting to take the most perfect shot my camera has ever taken so close up!  I thank you wherever you are.
