I found this tiny little Australian Grasshopper hopping around in my vegi patch. The flowers photographed in this image where also from my garden.
Photographing grasshoppers was new to me when I found this little guy in my garden, he was so green and cute I had to try and get a photo of him.
He didn’t sit still for long, I had a few seconds, but when he looked straight at me I knew (hoped) this is going to be very special.
