Spear thistle + bush cricket Although I'm pleased with the lighting on this spear thistle shot, I will remember it mostly as a missed opportunity. Check out the bush cricket sitting on the thistle on the left. I completely missed it. It would have been a nice macro opportunity, since I've never spotted one before.
