Jiminy Cricket in the Hollow

When I went to go do some trimming the other day, I spied this dapper looking dude.  He just sat there, so sure of himself while I snapped his picture.  However, he was probably terrified and too afraid to move!

But then, after I put the camera on the potting bench and got into the confines of the garden, I noticed this fellow hanging out on my grapevine wreath that I made.

He let me get in nice and close.  I was trying to catch him while he was scratching, but I just wasn't fast enough to catch him with his leg up near his head.  Darn it all! 

Now I know why I seen so many turkeys in our yard on the hill.  They love crickets!
