Here’s a fun shot I took the other day just after I’d mowed the lawn in the backyard. I saw this guy jumping out of the way of the lawn mower so I ran inside, grabbed my camera and my macro lens and started shooting this little guy.

This is actually the only shot I have of him where he placed his hand/paw/foot thing on his head, and I thought it was an interesting variation of the number of grass hopper shots spread all over the internet.
