Edward Estlin Cummings is known for his radical experimentation with form, punctuation, spelling, and syntax; he abandoned traditional techniques and structures to create a new, highly idiosyncratic means of poetic expression.

I just saw a pretty creature amongst the johnson grass. E.E.Cummings saw much more than me. Oh how we are never too old to learn.

IMAGES OF SMALL THINGS FROM THE BIGGEST COUNTY IN TEXAS #595 – My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius

This creature caught my attention when he flew by me on my morning walk. It was just hard to miss a leaf hopper that had bright pink wings. After chasing him down his Gladiator look far out weighed his wear it pink look.

“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”

Be bold, look like a gladiator while doning the wear it pink! ††† en theos ††† jimwork

“When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; That is the grasshopper’s–he takes the lead In summer luxury–he has never done With his delights, for when tired out with fun, He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed.” John Keats

I just really never really took the time to appreciate the lowly grasshopper. They are intricate, interesting and a feast for the eyes. ††† en theos ††† jim work

Acrida ungarica (Nosed Grasshopper)Well I can’t complain, our high desert is becoming alive with life ( duh, what else can you come alive with) in the form of flora and creatures. I was down low photographing a pretty purple and yellow tahoka daisy, when I caught a quick glimpse of this little creature fly past. I was fortunate enough to spot this little (3/4 -1″) long nosed grasshopper literally clinging to piece of grass. I so enjoyed the way his little feet had such a desperate grip. He was very patient with me and allowed me to inch to within a foot or so to his slender frame.Not a lot of color, but a lot of character.Show some character on your journey†††nada te turbe†††††††jim
