That is so awesome! The details in both the grasshoppers and that plant is just wonderful! Great shot!

WOW, what a clear shot you have here... What were you using at the time?
Also, what flower is that on, just to give it some perspective...
Happy WW!

That's a very discreetly placed blade of grass... ;-)
Posted by: Joanna | September 05, 2007 at 08:22 AM
What detail..very impressive! And so tender! lol!! Ahh...all the love!
Posted by: jenny-up the hill | September 05, 2007 at 08:22 AM
What a great shot! Love the grasshoppers
Posted by: Kay in PA | September 05, 2007 at 08:22 AM
Whoa! This is such an interesting shot. But.... are you invading their privacy? UWakakkaak. Anyway, thanks for sharing and have fun!
Posted by: pelfy | September 05, 2007 at 08:27 AM
Wow! That is one neat shot. Love it.

Thanks everyone for commenting and for visiting.
About this photo:
I used, as always, my Nikkon CoolPix4500 camera. It is a digital but not a digital SLR. I'm still saving up for that.
I went out last night to photograph some more of my Dahlias and zinnias and other stuff in the garden while the light was hitting that evening perfection. As I was examining the Dahlia bud, I noticed these two. I took lots of shots, and as I got closer to them they scooted around the stem of the plant to get away from me.
Oh, and Joanna, funny you notice the blade of grass--I had other shots that revealed a bit more but I decided to use this one so as to be a bit more...discreet. Of course I know nothing aboiut invertebrate anatomy so I wasn't sure what was "showing" in the other shots. I chose this one just to be safe. Plus I liked that this shot shows the flower bud.
Thanks again everyone for visiting and for commenting!

wow, what an impressive shot!! How did you get such detail?
Posted by: And Miles To Go.... | September 05, 2007 at 11:59 AM
This is SO COOL! Great macro shot! I have a DSLR and honestly, sometimes, I get just as good of shots with my little point & shoot!
Great job!
Posted by: Minnesota Momma | September 05, 2007 at 05:54 PM
That is an amazing shot! I can't believe you took it with a regular digital (not SLR). Awesome skills!
Posted by: Glennia | September 05, 2007 at 06:10 PM
color is beautiful and so clear
Posted by: Marcia | September 05, 2007 at 06:41 PM
