One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar. ~ Helen Keller
These aren't sharp images, but I have been obsessed with trying to capture a soaring grasshopper for a quite a while and finally managed to at least get something. The photo on the left was taken as it took off from my driveway and the one on the right as it was landing in the gravel. When it's in the air, I think the grasshopper resembles a swallowtail butterfly but it takes off so fast and goes so far it's been a challenge just getting a photo. Thanks for viewing!
