Several simple and compound eyes glared at me while I took several shots of this grasshopper. There wasn't much this guy could do about it. It was a chilly morning and being a cold-blooded creature, Mr. Hopper wasn't able to go anywhere quickly.
In-your-face street photography, meadow-style.

A golden grasshopper would make a nice broach!!
Look at that glass eye!!!
I like the larger pictures.
Lovely! (and the Strobist info was interesting too)
What kind of plant is the grasshopper on?
I'm no horticulturalist, but I believe he's on a wild carrot bloom that had gone to seed.
nice close-up the eye is nice and sharp!
This image is wonderful!
