One of those little green guys. I saw it leap from the deck in front of my husband's office down to the first step.

You really got up close and personal!

Love the details, and that color. Wow!

No retouching. Only cropped it a bit.

There is a dogwood behind it and it was really interesting to see that I had to frame it
without the green leaves of the dogwood behind it or the camera would lose the focus on the katydid.

And this one had the best color and detail.

Overcast day helped, too.
