I like this: "Just like magnifying the grasshopper, I am magnifying my joy of photography." How do you think?
I spotted my grasshopper while I was moving around the wheel. It looked so tidy and gave me the opportunity to concur with what I have read.

The quote applies only to grasshopper or alike, but not the following one. I do not know whether it is a baby snake or a black worm, but I waste no time to study or analyse. It is not my favourite.
To discover something in the nature does not require me to keep travelling. This is what I have learned and experienced. Though I do not need to stay for hours, somehow the same old place does produce a variety of events. As I moved around this same place, I found the grasshopper just came along to MyJourney. Same to this tiny long critter, it just crawled along and disappeared.Fun, is what I can say. I can enjoy the Nature in various ways. And I would like the end this post with another quote by Eugene Delacroix, "Nature is a dictionary; one draws words from it." (Special thanks to Cate for sharing this).
Eek..that's one very long black worm!
ReplyDeleteNature is always putting on a new show. I have to go back over and over to the same spots to see the new lineup.
ReplyDeleteThere is always something new and interesting to see in nature. Your picture of the snake (or worm) is interesting, but the picture of the grasshopper is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteyeah even the same venue we go again and again, i bet time, weather, mood, etc will not be the same... so when you wanna go hiking with me again?? lol
ReplyDeleteI think that one is a worm...
ReplyDeleteI had experience with a leech during trekking long time ago. It slipped inside my socks and keep pumping my blood out. Good thing I found that quickly and my friend poured a tobacco water on it and it came off!
Mei Teng: Eek is my feeling as well....
ReplyDeleteWiseAcre: If you go back to the same mirror, you will find a new face day after day, I call this a wiser face.
George: That's why this magnifying my joy so much.
fufu: so when will you come over for the hiking?
VanillaSeven: I did see leech standing upright in the middle of the path. It was interesting but yet eek...
the worm looks like a snake
ReplyDeleteGrasshopper is cool!
ReplyDeleteThe earth must be very soggy to see those worms around
I will go with you for the grasshopper, but the black one, no way..
ReplyDeleteNow that's another type of grasshopper. I have seen several huge ones in Asia! The shot is luminously clear. Good job, Rainy! The worm on the other hand has an artistic contrast against that leaf! Nice!
ReplyDeleteRainfield great shots.
ReplyDeleteI believe the "snake" is actually a blind worm here they are called incorrectly "flowerpot snakes" since they like to take up residence in your flower pots!
Nice to have the grasshopper and worm visit you during your photo outing. I wonder what you will encounter next time.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for your comment on my blog.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder - you have captured the essence of nature once more, and have thus allowed us to witness its magnificence in all its forms.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you can appreciate nature in this way.
ReplyDeletenature is a vessel to which mortals drinks for inspiration...
ReplyDeleteagain, you capture what's good in nature,big and small, the one that hops and those that crawls.
Bengbeng/Kirigalpoththa: Base on Mike's comment, I do believe too it is a blind snake or flowerpot snake.
ReplyDeleteIcy BC: Haha.. You are very firm. No way!
Tes: I am magnifying my joy, hopefully I can share some of mine with you.
Mike: Thank you for you information. It do help to clear my doubt.
AVCr8teur: Just wait for the new one to come. Haha...
When I run my trails I'm alert for obstacles like tree roots and boulders, but always jump the highest for the snakes, ha!
ReplyDeletecherie: It is my delight to see you appreciate what I appreciate.
ReplyDeleteAutumn Belle: If you can follow me all the while, you can appreciate nature like me.
Saltype: Nature is a vessel to which mortals drinks for inspiration. What a great finding of the day for me.
Heather Dugan: I remember my son fell down from his bicycle when he saw the body of a dead snake. Haha..
and you are like a "book" showing and sharing us the beauty and wonder of nature rainfield :)
ReplyDeletenice shot of the grasshoper rain thanks for sharing.
I like the grasshopper. It's very colorful. If that is a worm, it's the longest one I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteOh, I actually like the black worm! It's like a string of squeezed out black paint, but it can change its art every minute
ReplyDeleteI wonder the exact function of the lovely pair of antenna on its head... feeler? or weapon like double pronged swords? ~bangchik
ReplyDeletehmmm... i need the grasshopper for Ah Girl's Bio project. Can I ??
ReplyDeletemaricar: This is the most interesting description. I am like a book, a standard one text book? Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteRatty: If you like, the worm can be yours.
Sharkbytes: That's good and great imagination. Your brain works better than mine. lol.
Bangchik and Kakdah: Be careful when you get near, it is a killer!!
mommyscchoo@yahoo.com: Hi Miss Choo, that's no problem. You can duplicate as many as you want. It is totally free.
Brilliant post!!! And it's my pleasure to share with people like you who appreciate nature.
