The Guardian's website was kind enough to feature a photo👇 I submitted for their reader submissions.

I thought that was cool! First time I've had someone publish a submission let alone featuring at the top of the page. Luckily a friend told me because I'm on a news blackout for awhile.

The other readers' submissions are fantastic (especially the mammatus clouds👍). Here's the link is you want to take a look.

Great capture! Molting juvie?

It was 93°F at 6:45 yesterday morning when I went to check on the garden. It was so hot that even this golden-green grasshopper felt the need for a short, upside-down siesta between snacking on my Cosmos.

Closeup image of a large, golden-green grasshopper clinging to a magenta and white striped Cosmos flower that is only slightly wider the the grasshopper's body length. The flower is facing the right of the frame and the grasshopper is vertical with it's head facing down. The Cosmos petals show signs of recent feeding with some petals cut down close to the flower's center. The background consists of out of focus greens and browns.

A few mos. ago a series of bad decisions/planning led to losing several mos. of my editing data from earlier this yr. It sucks to loose that work & I find trying to match earlier edits w/o the previous edit data nigh impossible, but I often revisit older photos as my editing skills improve. In this case it gave me a good excuse to take another swing at this image which is the source of my avatar.

I'm @Rihilism, an #amateur #photographer. I shoot my own #photographs & live in a lovely city w/ a surprisingly diverse wildlife population. Am fortunate to be w/in walking distance of the animals you see below.

Mostly I shoot #Nature & #wildlife but I dabble. The eagle photo is the reason I bought my 1st camera.
