The grasshoppers are moving a little more slowly, allowing me to get a closer look at them.  All insects but especially grasshoppers fascinate me.
I'm happy to give you a break from the hummingbirds, but they're not gone.  I think there were about 100+ here today.  I added another feeder to the front porch to save Dave from slaving all day to refill them.  A cool front is beginning to move down, so I'm sure the numbers will dwindle soon.

I just got my favorite lens back from the repair shop and was hoping my aberration problem had been corrected.  After practicing on some wild lantana and a beat-up grasshopper, I believe the lens is in tip top shape--Yay!

Today I found a hidden field full of wildflowers and insects.  I'm so excited--a new canvas to paint my pictures!
