Amid all the bluster, blow and hollow windy music of a classic autumn day in the highlands, a single towering specimen of goldenrod stood stalwart against the rail fence yesterday, still swaying back and forth, but moving more gently in the steady gusts than its neighbors were.I thought I was just capturing a lovely golden flowering stalk in the sunshine by the old gate, and when I uploaded the photo, there was a grasshopper in my photo - perched on a strand of Queen Anne's Lace and looking cheerful, positively beaming in fact and happy with the day.
Sometimes, just sometimes, one receives a little surprise reminder when she needs one.
Thank you for helping me to see the joy in that little being. It looks to me like her mouth is opening to say hello.
ReplyDeleteI see her front feet on the flower petals and was thinking of her viewpoint -- so up close and personal with the beauty we see from a distance because of our size.
With much appreciation for sharing your world.
