Well, as usual summer seems to be ending when it's hardly begun but the signs are inescapable. Here's two in a cozy arrangement. Like many flowering plants the Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota) pictured above is going to seed now. I enjoy the look of these clusters of tiny, spiny seeds and while photographing them I came across this one with a grasshopper nestling inside. There are about 11,000 species of grasshopper so I am not going to attempt to identify this one.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

This little creature looks snug and well-cushioned in that Queen Anne's bed.
I'm not a fan of grasshoppers but this is a really cute picture!
Good capture!
