"Grasshopper’s Dreamland"

While walking through a late-summer prairie, I spotted a grasshopper basking in perfect light atop a stem of native grass. Using a Nikon D750 at 420mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec, ISO 100, I framed the moment from afar—freezing its stillness while letting the background melt into dreamlike blur. A quiet portrait of presence, caught in golden hush.
