"There it was just walking down the street . . . "

My husband and I had errands galore to run this morning. But then he took me to lunch at the cute little Italian eatery, Pinocchio's, that I blipped about last week. The foods was very good and more than enough for two to share.

Afterward, we decided to walk the town for a little while. Just in front of us, I noticed something small and green jumping on the sidewalk. It was a tree hopper! I had never seen one before in Colorado. Since I had my trusty camera with me, I laid down on the sidewalk in front of him and took several shots. The hopper wasn't sure what to do with me, and kept moving. He then took off and flew into the nearby tree right after I took this picture.

I may not have not taken a photo of a dragon fly (remember the unwritten rule?), but I got a tree hopper! And don't worry, I will find a dragon fly yet!
