I went out to take some photos in the garden just as dusk was setting in a few nights ago:
ZOOMING OUT
I had just snapped this picture of the new growth around this archway:

ZOOMING IN
Imagine my surprise shock when I moved to walk through the arch and saw this huge grasshopper!!

you can see the red dust which I still haven't got around to cleaning off after the Saharan rain a couple of weeks ago....also the wires ready to tie in the climbers...there was no way I was removing them to take the picture!!
hoping you all have a good Easter weekend....the sun is shining here: I hope it is for you too!
thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

He's a little bit big for my comfort zone. :) We've got a gorgeous sunny day here but still a tad cool. Looks like Sunday will be the same but Monday it's going to get warm of course.

Golly, that IS huge! And your 'new' growth would be several years' worth here ... Lovely to see such lushness.
