Fire and water

This morning it was a good time to walk out in the woods. The air smelled particularly sweet. I have no idea what I'm smelling as I walk along, but it's nice. Started out looking like the woods was on fire as the dog and I left the parking lot.

Further along, the light turned quite magical, with electric greens and the glow of the rising sun on fallen pine needles.

Then, at the end of our walk, I saw dew on the green stuff along the path and tried to take a picture of it. Spotted this big grasshopper in the middle of this flowering feathery grass, no doubt drying off after pulling an all nighter.
