Beauty and a Beast
The delicate beauty of these sedum blossoms provide a stark contrast to the uninviting demeanor of a grasshopper who found a late summer resting spot.
My photography typically focuses on the beauty of nature. I’m sure many would not find the grasshopper to be “beautiful,” but I think it is. I find the structure and patterns in the design of this creature a work of beauty. Again, a contrast to the “pretty” of the flowers but a very cool and interesting subject.
Grasshoppers are insects and are probably the oldest living group of chewing herbivorous. I imagine this one has found a pleasant, final resting place.
