Some new things

[Boddie]

Last night I freaked when looking at one of Matts pics of a grasshopper I think it was. I was fine looking at it until I read its hind leg was missing then I lost it again. Felt all dicky and could not return. I was kind of guessing if this meant something? Anyway today I nearly touched one. I went to handle it, and felt fine, but it jumped off. I have been photoing them today with no problems.

I drove today from Brum, out to Hunstanton and down the coast to Caister. I got some pictures of these jumpy things, crickets or grasshoppers or whatever, some of windmills, windfarms, allsorts.

I have had a fab day and put in some 370 miles so now I just want to relax on here and post my pics for you to see.

Nice

Here are the photos I took today. Not sure what this is but if someone would be so kind as to identify it for me it would be appreciated.

Thanks
