Gardener's Reward

A great green bush cricket (Tettigonia viridissima) - sometimes called a katydid. This is a female with her long ovipositor. Her emergence as I gardened was my reward for back-breaking weeding, dead-heading and so forth. There's still plenty of greenery for her to hide in. 

The triptych shows two shots taken on my phone, and one on my camera. Can't help thinking the phone pics are superior! Can you guess which is the camera image?

Today is our son and daughter-in-law's tenth wedding anniversary. Can't believe where the years have gone - which applies, too, to our great niece's starting at secondary school today. Wow-ee!
