Top 20 Photos of 2013 - #3

#3


I have gained a lot of great photos by simply walking out onto my balcony. All manner of bugs, birds and dragonflies have temporarily set base here. One evening in 2013 I noticed another marvellous visitor to our balcony, its colourful and perfectly decorated body sitting still on our lavender plant. These are the grasshopper's hind legs in an upright position, resembling the shape of the Petronas Twin Towers, while a front leg clutches a tiny branch to the right. The soft blue background portrays the first glimpse of dusk.

  5. This is magnificent! Great, great job! It took me a while to figure out what it was (I wanted to without reading your explanation) but I did get it--yay me :D It's beautiful--the insect, its colors, the blur of green, the blue background... Perfect.
