Tradescantia ernestia & Grasshopper

While walking through the woods while working on botanical surveys I came across this scene and just couldn't resist. The image turned out great. The grasshopper jumped away immediately after the shutter closed. The whole thing took less than 15 seconds. Since it is a flower image I can't help but say sometimes you've got to stop and smell the roses. All too often we take simple pleasures like this for granted.
