I've already uploaded these photos onto my Facebook page, but thought I'd put them up here as well.
I was watering the garden and managed to also get a grasshopper rather wet. Raced in to get the camera, which already had the macro lens on so it was good to go and back out before the grasshopper had hopped away. Got in nice and cozy with the shrubs and plants to get some close up shots. It really looks like the grasshopper is wiping away the water from its eye. This is one of the reasons I enjoy macro photography so much - to be able to see such detail that one normally doesn't when simply looking from a distance. Macro shots really bring out the beauty in many things.
