Description

I am not a photographer, as you can tell ;-) This morning is a perfect sunny warm day here in Venice, I was drying the clothes outside on the balcony, when I feel something on my leg. I wear shorts so the sensation was right on my skin. I guess all of Venice hear my scream! Hahahaha!!! A grasshopper was just sit on my leg impassible while I scream as an idiot. I love any animal, insects included, but I guess I was just don't expected him/her sit there. The poor insect maybe get more scared than me and fly on the clothes, my first instinct was to run take the camera. I do so many shots, the lil thing seems to enjoy that and start modelling for me. This is the shot I like the most between the bunch. I want to dedicate this photo to a real photographer and great artist: Valerie. She is great, any of her pictures tell a story, fascinate me. Plus she love the kitty, I hope also the wigged one like me. Thank you Valerie!!!!! Have a great day, any of you. BTW: The grasshopper still on the balcony also now, maybe is trying to get a suntan! LOL p.s.: Should I flag this for "nudity"??? I don't see clothes in there, hahahaha!!!!!!!!

I saw the thumb and thought: What kind of a strange animal is that?? Now I know it's just the leg of this nice little green friend of yours. I know about the surpising feeling you had, for our house spider walked over my bare arms when I was trying to get to sleep a short while ago, and it tickles!!! A lovely dedi for indeed a very good photographer, who is also nice and friendly.

YAA! Falls out of her chair, startled. Not much of a photographer you say. That's a lot better than the dabble I do, awesome capture and it's so sharp! Maybe the little guy knew you'd take his picture? As far as the flagging, I'm not sure. That's one sexy grass hopper! ;-) Bravo!

;-D Li-C you kill me for laugh! Great one;-) Sorry Saretta, I will never post this if I know your fear! My brother is damn scared from any jumping-flying insects, especially the big ones like this. One day in the home in Sardinia it was a gigantic insect on the ladder that conduce at home, my mom was sharing the same fear of my brother, so they both start wandering in town and wait to go home until the insect go away! hahaha! Hey, now are go exactly 4 hours from when I take that shot and THE GRASSHOPPER STILL THERE!!!!!!!!! Now is on a vase of basil LOL!!!!! I start think that he like here...

I think you should put your best house plant out on the balcony for his/her lunch! Perhaps a lovely begonia? Do you have something like that? And just from this photo .. I think you should take MORE pictures, this is excellent!!
