Prehistoric Porn

So I'm trying to water my flowers and deadhead the spent blossoms while the grasshoppers are doing what they do....HOP!  And they're hopping EVERY where!  And of course, I can't see them as they're hidden beneath the foliage, so they get watered along with the flowers.  They don't like the water.  They freak out.  I freak out.  It's a giant freak show.  So as if all that freaking out isn't enough, I come across this little porn show going on in a pot of geraniums and petunias.

Being the inquisitive soul that I am, I was obligated to see if a little water would send the lovers scattering, but it didn't phase them.  There will be even more of the little prehistoric monsters hopping about soon.  There really is "power in numbers", because this mini plague of locusts is starting to creep me out.  All of a sudden, autumn seems like a pretty good idea about now.  Besides, I'll have more time for indoor activities like "Happy Creating!"

Meanwhile, I'll concentrate on the glimpses of goldfinch at the beach.  The number of days left for the SUMMER party are numbered - get those page links posted for a chance to win the *ARTtastic giveaway!
