Photohunters: Theme Flexible

This week I am really scraping the barrel for the theme flexible. In the end I decided on the humble grasshopper. I have many of it in my garden. They are very flexible. I am the intruder in their world. They let me be if I don’t get too close. If I get too near, they just hop out of reach. Not too far, just to keep a distance.

They persistently refused to be photographed :) So I had to use these hand made ones. It took about fifteen minutes for this batch. They can last a long time. But the leaves will change to brown after some time.

    Those are very cool grasshoppers. I’m thinking the leaves must be flexible in order to do that as well. Happy Weekend.

    The palm leave that you used to make the grasshopper is soooo flexible! My mum used to make bracelets for me out of them when I was young. :)
