2009 Fall Foliage: Wrong place, wrong time

by Earl Moore on October 29, 2009

Have you ever had a grand scheme that you thought was a sure winner only to later realize it was the wrong place at the wrong time?

I’m sure this bug’s bright green camouflage sounded like a wonderful idea a couple of weeks ago–not so much now, and certainly not here.

@don – Thanks. It was the contrast of colors that caught my eye causing me to first spot this little guy.

@Steve Skinner – He’d better hope the predators are as well.

Your picture makes an interesting point. It isn’t easy for an object to steal the scene when there is anything red in the competetion, but with this fellow’s help you have demonstrated how to achieve that goal.
