A shopping cart encounter

Already the shooting location deserves to be mentioned. Not because the village I have made the pictures bears the wonderful name "Gruenkraut" (which, no kidding, translates to "green cabbage") but because I discovered that wonderful little fellow in a garden center's shopping cart — a shopping cart that we had loaded with some flowers we intended to purchase. And there he was — pinned to one of the plants. A little lethargic, yet fascinating.

Garden Center Fleischer, Gruenkraut, Germany. May 2009.

Canon EOS 5D Mk II, Canon EF 50mm f 1.4 + Canon extension tube EF12 II, ISO 400, f 1:4.0, 1/400 s.
