Dragonfly and Grasshopper

I took these photos in an unattended yard near my house. I was expecting to get many photos there because it seems like a good place for insects and small creatures to live in.

I went there almost late in the afternoon, but the reality was not as good as I was expecting. Or maybe I was not checking things thoroughly to find animals that I want to photograph.

First I found this dragonfly, which welcomes me right after a few steps into the area. I was happy because I think it was a very good sign for me to get many photos later on.

Then I found this cute green grasshopper resting in one of the leaves. I took a few shots before it jumps away when I was to move to get the photos from another angle.
