Short Winged Conehead-Cricket

cool photo.
whos arm or leg did he land on lol

Great photo, Toto, he obviously liked being tickled :)

~great pic!

Brill photo.

What do you expect Toto.......What hairy arms you've got......poor devil couldnt get away..........

He could get away. He walked all over me, not just on my arm. He was just one more friendly insect who recognised a kindred spirit.
Thank you all.

Look Look the king of the green fly ,what do yo mean you let it get away Toto don't you know that as long as you have the "king" in a matchbox all the greenfly stay out of your garden?????

My mistake Indy.

can't win em all Toto!

In my case, can't win any.

Try entering a few photo comps and I think that will change, send some to Nature mags it might be well worth it you never know..

great pic toto, so tiny

You want to elope with a rose, this wants to elope with you! No accounting for taste,

I'm not good enough Indy.
Thanks Sanbaz. I'm sorry to say that the pic doesn't do him justice.
I know Wagger. I'll just take whatever is silly enough to want to be with me.

Don't talk yourself down Toto theres many who are happy to do that for you, Give it a shot and see what transpires WE ALL love your eye for a pic and if we're the public which we are then you stand as good a chance as any to pick up freelance stuff, believing in yourselfs not an easy step to take but believe me your pics ARE good enough!

Lovely photo how lucky you are Toto I thought that about my poems until I uploaded one on another garden site I belonged to and a lady who use to work in the house of commons and still sits in the house of commons belongs to the Fabian society think tank thought my poem was too good to waste and said I should send them to a wildlife or gardening magazine. You will never know until you try be confident with your self as it helps more than you think.

I certainly think your wildlife shots are as good as and better than many I've seen published.

Thank you Indy, Morgana and Wagger for your supportive and lovely comments. I may try at some stage but I don't really photograph things for reward, just for my own satisfaction and to show to people who I think may like to see them.

lol Toto you are rewarding others that dont get to see other than in Magazines what would your reward be it would go to the cost of the pictures you take to show some one who cant get where you can like myself, stuck in a wheel chair and cannot climb or go on certain ground to get to see, I know a lady gardener who does this but hers is mainly birds she get s praises from all around the world I will try and get you her website for you to have a look her pictures are fantastic like yours.

See, Morgana gives you the reason, people who cant see it for themselves!

i say go for it Toto, oh an dont forget all your friends here when your rich and famous :-)

lol Irish I am LMAO

Yeah we alll want a signed photo of the first pic you get paid for, there that should put paid to any worries you have over "making money"

Thank you all. I don't have worries over money making as I've never made any. I do understand what you are saying Morgana but there are so many wonderful things to see which you do have access to and there are books and magazines which have photographs which someone like me could never in his wildest dreams consider competing with. Like I say, I just enjoy seeing the nature, phographing it when possible and sharing it with anyone who is prepared to look.
If you look on this website alone you will find many examples of photographs taken by members which are better than anything I have ever taken and I love to see and enjoy them.

lol easy way of escape he he ha ha

Great close up Toto...........

Thanks Bonkers. Have you heard anything of Dawn. She seems to have disappeared.

:O hope she is ok.

So do I Morgana. I'll send her a pm to see if she responds.

Last seen in a camping shop trying on tents Toto...which I dont believe for a minute !

lol Was she looking for a head dress too.with feathers comming out the sides ha ha ha next thing it will be smoke signals she ll be sending.

All is well as she is back.

Wonderful pic, Toto. :o)
.... presuming that's a pic of the top of your head ? Lol.

Thanks you cheeky person. I have hair on my head, this is my arm.

Lol. I believe you. :o)

Don't forget, I am a very young person, well person maybe stretching the truth but very young nevertheless.

I still believe you :o)

Why do I get the impression that you are telling porkies TT?

The Short Winged Conehead Cricket told me lots of things....Lol.
... which has led me to put this pic on my favs. ...

Thank you TT. Wish some of these little fellows could keep a secret.

:o)

Great pic, you hairy guy!

Thanks Newfie. Do you mean the cricket or me?

You. If you're not the green guy.
