When I was at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia, I found a grasshopper from a very different point of view. As I walked though the John A. Sibley Horticultural Center, I was tickled to find a grasshopper on the glass door. I enjoyed photographing him.

I have gone to Callaway Gardens for the last several years to photograph the immense beauty there. I am saddened to hear the John A. Sibley Horticultural Center closed on November 12, 2015 due to the decline in the economy. I will truly miss shooting in the outdoor gardens, as I discovered in the last two years, it is a hummingbird magnet. They love feeding on the purple salvia there.

 I attempted to video the fast flying ruby-throated hummingbirds on my cell phone on August 9, 2014. They were zipping by so fast, and I had a hard time keeping track of them!

I shot this video of a hummingbird feeding off the salvia right next to me. He was very trusting of me:)

Yesterday, I met again a fellow photography friend to shoot at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Before she got there, I found a little grasshopper relaxing on a large leaf plant. I took several "normal" shots then photographed the grasshopper backlit and in silhouette.

I was enjoying photographing a beautiful flower and then a grasshopper decided to make the photograph look even better.
