Description
This is the smaller of thet two. I discovered two of these in my garden in the morning. The Bigger was a size I have never seen before. He was almost the size of my hand this one was smaller. I was just planning how to grab into my cam for he was perched up a bit high only his face and body visible if i saw through the leaves above. Not a happy way to catch but th en iI was working it out when the wifey shows up and tells me the car mechanic is there and I should attend to him. When a photogrpaher tells somebody that his capture is going to be the most important thing at that moment, nobody seems to believe it and the wifey kept pestering me to pay attention to her. In the argument and my diversion I couldn't see where this bigger one hopped to..... I kept looking but no luck, I din't find him. Maybe, I will be lucky tommorow or some other day. This lil one was sitting in a lower branch and I tried two or three shots before it hopped off too.
I have not been posting for the last couple of days as I am a bit sad........a temporary phase I guess.;)
Thanks for your views and welcome all comments.

Oh, the Benches were stained with Tears and Perspiration, The Birdies were flying from Tree to Tree. There was little to say, there was no conversation, As I stepped to the Stage to pick up my Degree. And the Locusts sang off in the distance, Yeah, the Locusts sang such a sweet melody. Oh, the Locusts sang off in the distance, Yeah, the Locusts sang and they were singing for me.... A Song by Bob Dylan ...which makes Me happy...I hope it is "contagious" and the Locust is for You...manly hugz
