An insect on a blade of grass.
I'm watching Roland Garros, known in the US as the French Open, now and for the next two weeks. I remember watching some of it (probably just the finals) when I was in high school in the 1970s. I actually played a little tennis back then. I was not very good at it. I started playing again about ten years ago, just before we moved to France, but I haven't played since. I have, however, gone to Roland Garros a couple of times. I wonder when I'll go back.
(sings) it's got legs, it knows how to use them...
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty bug.....don't think I'd be afraid of that one at all.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering when you'd mention tennis- the good times are on their way. Lots of tennis for a couple of months. Tennis is fun to watch and more fun to play.
ReplyDeleteThose insect legs almost look braided or plaited. Your lens is like using a microscope. How far away were you? Taking the photo didn't seem to bother the insect you must have been using your zoom.
ReplyDeleteMy pétanque club starts at 1:00 on Sunday so I left right after Venus lost her game - there were some small clips that NBC was showing of the men's game. I would have liked to see more. What a difference between the power shots the men had vs. the women's game!
I'm with you Evelyn - I usually prefer actively participating instead of just watching sports! But I make an exception with tennis because I love it soooo much. Want to get together for a game? (hehehehe - wish it was that easy to transport ourselves, n'est-ce pas?)
The bug seems to be looking at you with a "stop bugging me" look. lol
ReplyDeletejim, that's what inspired the title of the post! lol
DeleteInsects are fascinating up close, yes.
ReplyDeleteI played tennis when I was younger. My volley wasn't so great,but I had a killer serve. My ball would hit the ground and almost burrow.
