Here at our new house, I have noticed a few around here the last few days. I have wandered back through the woods and fields of long grass when I go for a walk. Each step scatters a half a dozen grasshoppers from before us. They bound away, some just a foot or two, some four or five, and the odd one spreads its wings and flies off much farther. You should be noticing them here soon if you haven’t already. I am a naturalist, writer and photographer, but most of all a lover of nature. I live on almost seven rural acres in northern LaGrange, surrounded by woods and meadows that are my inspiration and reflection. I try to hike our land nearly every day, and I always try to carry my camera and or binoculars with me. I enjoy my research studies and sharing my discoveries here with you all. Get outside when you are able to and just capture the moments, the scenery, the sounds, the discoveries, the memories, and enjoy our God given nature through the great outdoors. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Information for this article taken from the following websites: • EnchantedLearning.com • animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu Two Locations to Serve You!
