A Grasshopper on Susan May's Stargazer Lily

This one is from last year, but the asters this year are gorgeous and blooming several weeks later.

From a shoot in Waltham, MA a little over a year ago. I'm looking through old files for images to process while I am without a camera. :-(

My Nikon D-40 is not working and may not be reparable. One of the screws n the casing is stripped so the repair is unlikely. I'm figuring I can afford to replace it in about February, so it may be a loooooooooooong autumn and winter. I expect it's not fatal to be sans camera for a while. At least I'll get my photo files on the computer cleaned up. :-)

I can't take credit for finding these... my sweetheart saw them first. I still haven't identified them, but I'd never seen such a large grouping before. Each mushroom in the cluster was about 2 to or 3 inches across, and they were growing near the disintegrating stump of a tree. The whole mound was a little over a foot around.

Looks like fairy condos. :-)
