Surprise appearance of grasshopper

Grasshopper and milkweed

I went to see if I could capture a picture of some of the Osprey that were circling the sky over Bassett Creek Park's pond.  As I was patiently waiting for one to dive and capture a fish I noticed a grasshopper along the shore, sitting on a swamp milkweed pod.  

I wasn't able to get a very good shot of the Osprey, but I did end up with a pretty nice portrait of a grasshopper.

Sometimes, no often it seems when were looking and anticipating for one thing another opportunity appears.
