A Hitchhiker

A Hitchhiker

Texas Canyon, Dragoon, AZ

Other than resizing and framing, this is right out of the camera.
I saw this grasshopper jump up onto the hood of my car and thought it would look really cool, so I
took a couple of shots of it through the windshield.

Thanks for your great comments on yesterday's insect...the Mexican Robber Fly!

VERY cool! What great timing for you...the reflection is really cool, and the light b/g works great to isolate the grasshopper. Well done!
