Katydid Nymph

Photo from 7/23/06

A katydid nymph exploring the dried dill weed out in the garden.


A gray winter day here. 28ΒΊ at 3:00 PM and a gusty, damp south wind is blowing.

It's a good day for sorting through old photos. I'm deleting many that aren't as good as I once thought they were. (Hey, I've gotten better.) I'll be posting a few of the "keepers" from time to time.

Lovely! And it's 'for real,' hu? I mean, at first it looked Photo-shopped. But I don't think it is.

I'll be honest. I don't like Photo-shopping. I like photos to show what 'was there,' so to speak. Or what the camera saw, anyway. But! That's just me!!!! Many people are in love with Photo-shop. :-)

It's real. A touch of increased contrast, saturation and sharpness, but the katydid was on the dill in the garden. ;-)

Cool picture!

Good job, Marvin. Love the katydids.

We have the same weather although our cold is very dry. Bad for the skin. 16 degrees tomorrow morning. Yes, we do have winter in Charlotte.

Once a month I have to go through the photos and delete and save on disks. I am not sure what ever I will do with thousand of Cardinal photos. LOL
Photography is wonderful. You have the eye.

We too have these little katydids in our garden. They are so noisy as adults.

I look forward to more keepers.

That is an awesome shot!

Wow! Glad you didn't delete this one! This is FANTASTIC!

My hubby bought me an external hard drive so that I can store my shots....I have such a HARD TIME deleting any.

Oh yea, keeper for sure! Had I not enlarged it, I'd never realized that katydid nymphs are FUZZY! Thank you!
