    I have chosen to include a lot of leafage in this shot because I like the new shining leaves.

    Surfing a Sea of Yellow Waves!

    The primary object of this shot was the Gatekeeper Butterfly. However, on seeing the image I was struck by the waves of yellow so haven't cropped in. You can imaginge the insect surfing the wind waves!

    I was delighted to see that bank of all sorts of country flowers .I didn't know where to turn to because I wanted to take pictures of all of them. It was a dull , heavy morning but the butterfly was a great find to me.

    When I got my new camera I was desperate to start practicing with it. Since it was a season when most passerines are very inconspicuous I ended up taking a lot of pictures of invertebrates. I'm getting more into that, and thought I'll upload some photos from the summer...
