Blooming

I was told this was a Christmas Cactus, but it seems to bloom close to Thanksgiving each year.

Newly Planted.

My neighbor got a bunch of new flowers for her yard. I wish I could get closer to these to photography but couldn't get in closer. Day 288:365 (2010.10.15) @sharkbayte

Day 267- various shots of the grasshopper eating

On the move in search of more food. He just swallowed what I think was a bug and some plant material. Caught him as he was moving towards the next course. #365Project Day 267 (2010.09.24) @sharkbayte

You can see his meal.

Closer view

Side view of the grasshopper. These are all macro shots, he was very tiny. But the lens makes it look much larger. It was very hot and humid again today so I only stayed out about 15 minutes if that. My lupus gets worse with the sun and UV lights, so I try not to over do it when outside. With the heat and humidity I wonder when it will start to get down into the 70's or even 80's would be some relief!!

Hope you enjoy my pictures! thanks for stopping by and viewing. Carrie/Sharkbayte
