New Zealand plays England in the ICC World Cup at Wellington. NZ Won in front of a home crowd of 30,000 plus me.
Jiminy Cricket... It was my mom's prenup photoshoot... don't ask. Found this little guy hiding in the bushes... I was smiling while I was taking this photo. This is what I love about photography, it allows me to smile genuinely amidst the heartache I carry. Ok, stop the drama.
I spotted this cricket, hiding in plant. It's missing one of his legs, but that didn't seem to bother him in keeping the balance and to jump away after a little while.
This is an ex-cricket, who was given to me by a friend who keeps a spider. This would have been the spider's lunch. Instead I got to photograph it
Crickets, of the family Gryllidae, are insects related to bush crickets, and, more distantly, to grasshoppers. The Gryllidae have mainly cylindrical bodies, round heads, and long antennae. Behind the head is a smooth, robust pronotum.

India is the world's #1 'cricketing' nation. From the time the little boys can walk, they play cricket with whatever may be available and in any space. Lots of fun for them and spectators.
(Oecanthus fultoni), also known as the thermometer cricket makes an occasional appearance on mild days in the winter. They live inside tree trunks close to the ground for a warmer micro-environment. Its antennae are disproportionately longer than its body. We were trying out a X10 extension tube on our Sony.
GH-23M (foreground) and GH-23F Infantry Dropships
A small craft, the Gaerlan Heinz-23 has been a
versatile and invaluable part of the The Corps' offense and defense since its introduction seventeen years ago. Multiple variations exist, but the most used is the GH-23F [background] This "Cricket" variant can carry up to eight Devil Dogs, a pilot, five fully armed and/or two injured on the bottom wing pylons.
Almost every Marine currently in the Corps has flown into battle strapped to the side of a "Cricket".
Very little armor makes this dropship incredibly fast and maneuverable, even fully loaded with troops.
Alone, the GH-23 has limited armament, just two blast cannons under the bottom wings. However, a veritable cornucopia of weapons systems can be attached in lieu of (or addition to) battle ready Marines, in essentially any combination.
The versatile weapons payload, ability to quickly pick up or drop off troops, and sheer maneuverability (not counting that they were ridiculously cheap to manufacture) made the GH-23 "Cricket" a favorite among The Corps brass and also the Devil Dogs they carried into battle.
Sunday afternoon cricket match at Chatton, Northumberland. Although it looks a threatening sky it's a pretty warm day and the rain never appeared, for once!
This is just across the lane from the Chatton Trout Fishery, a great place to learn or enjoy fly fishing and get a great bacon butty....and yes, I've had a few bacon butties and lessons in fly fishing ... just need to catch a trout now...I can catch a bacon butty... no probs! :))
Zoom in to see the great action from the bowler... and the batsman!
Happy Fence Friday :))

A cricketing moment immortalised in bronze of bowler Jason Gillespie throwing a fast ball to batsman Darren Lehmann, as a spray of water from the sprinklers waters the lawn between them at the Adelaide Oval.
Just playing cricket with my son at our roof top....

Crickets, family Gryllidae (also known as "true crickets"), are insects somewhat related to grasshoppers, and more closely related to katydids or bush crickets (family Tettigoniidae) and Weta (families Anostostomatidae and Rhaphidophoridae). They have somewhat flattened bodies and long antennae. There are more than 900 species of crickets. They tend to be nocturnal and are often confused with grasshoppers because they have a similar body structure including jumping hind legs. Crickets are harmless to humans.

This is Cricket,one of our two calico cats, enjoying a few minutes in the backyard after supper. We don't allow them to run so they stay safe under our watchful eye just in this area.
We have bush crickets in the UK but not really in the frozen north where I live so I was very excited to see a few on the path at Lemoine Point - a quick change to my macro lens, take a few shots and then explain myself to the bemused Canadian regulars who were a bit perplexed at my interest in such a common thing!

I’m really not usually out to capture images of insects, but there were just so many willing models on my North Carolina vacation... including this cricket who appeared as a surprise guest on the patio furniture yesterday morning. My host urged me to take a photo. I begrudgingly complied. As it turned out, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like the image :)
