Orange grasshopper


Found it in my passiflora - it was the most patient of portrait sitters I've ever had.

What I didn't see was that someone else was watching the orange grasshopper too...
(upper right-hand corner)




I moved the grasshopper after the photo shoot.

2. Thank you!
I couldn't live with the guilt.

I was looking for a hat photo but found these instead. I like your hat photos much better anyway! :hi:

Here's another picture of me in a hat, just in case you can't get enough.

6. Oooh, and yet another!
I'm getting behind on my trades...I guess I'll have to bring a camera next time so I can catch up! Should I bring a hat?

7. No hat required, unless it's excessively sunny or it's a cute hat.
Oh and camera? I've always got one at the ready.

8. Whew, good thing.
I am without a hat.

I suppose this means you'll be getting "hatless" photos then. :D

9. I'll summon the will to continue.

I've got hats, but you might want me to wash them first. ;)

12. Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
:P

To change the subject a little here...did you get the return/return call? I don't mean to be nosy...well, okay, I'm being nosy...

13. No I didn't.
I called them this morning too. :( At least have the decency to call me back.

Oh well. I've still got other irons in the fire.

Thanks for asking, you can be nosy if you like. :)

14. Awww.
:-( I'm sorry to hear that. :hug:


Good to hear though that it's not the only one.

Well then...let me think up something more nosy to ask about... :P

15. You have until 5:00pm.
After that, I need to get ready to go downtown to the precinct chair meeting. After that is Keep Austin Blue. Of course you can submit questions while I'm gone, but you won't get a response until later this evening. :P

16. Short deadlines dampen the creativity.
I'm sure I can PM you with better ones anyway. :7

Have a good evening! :hi:

17. That's why I mentioned asking questions offline.
I want to give you plenty of time to ask some really good questions. :D

I'll chat with you later! :hi:

11. I thought it only fair.
He sat still long enough for me to photograph him a few times...the LEAST I could do is not have his day end very badly for him!
