| A grasshopper kicks up a pebble as it leaps into the air from a resting spot along a country road near Roseburg, Ore., on Thursday, Aug. 2, 2012. Grasshoppers are considered one of nature's best athletes with the ability to jump up to 20 times their body length. A human jumping at the same hop-to- length ratio could clear a five-story building or bound the length of a football field in three jumps. Photo shot with a shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second. |

| At a slightly slower shutter speed the grasshopper has more blur. |
 |
| I had many, many misses and near misses while shooting the grasshoppers. I actually like this shot with the debris flying. |
 |
| My grasshopper photo made it into the Pictures of the Day gallery (along with president Obama) on Zumapress.com. |
 |
| The New York Post picked up the grasshopper shot in their Weekly Animals gallery. |
