Good news, bad news. My old (can you believe 2005?), but trusty, Coolpix camera survived all the rigors of the Boundary Waters, but then I stepped on it changing clothes in the public parking lot. So I am using our Nikon D50 until I can research and buy another carry-everywhere camera.
The good news is that it’s a great camera for details, including the chevrons and red coloring on this grasshopper’s legs.
Nature report: One female hummingbird has left; two remain. I found a shed snake skin in my garden.

And, of course, there is a new post in The Garbage Day Project today. Those crazy garbage guys are already zooming by in the dark.
You were changing your clothes… where? This was no accident. This was the Collective Maternal Spirit rising up and saying LOOK at WHAT you’re DOing!
Remember when you could just go and buy something without having to do research? I miss those days. A lot.
This is a great shot of the ‘hopper, it looks like he has a bow and arrow in his right forelimb and a sharp eye on all comers.
