Basking Grasshopper

I was going to try to move away from living creatures today, but this bug was just hanging out - he gave me plenty of time to try to focus. :)

Thanks to everyone who viewed and commented on "Mother and Child" from yesterday. I really like that shot... so glad you do, too. You are all very generous with your time and talent.
