Gallery: Wildlife in a Provencal garden

I took a number of books and field guides with me to France. Of those that I left behind, the one I missed most was my field guide to grasshoppers and crickets: there were many, many species in Provence. Most of the grasshoppers were quite difficult to approach and photograph, but I did manage this picture of one. (All of the pictures in this gallery were taken in the garden of 'La Roque', near Ginasservis in Provence, southern France in 2004.)
