Skived out of work early today and went for a walk in my local park. Its my first venture out with the D40x, and i thought it would be nice to have a play around with it.

Being newish to this kind of thing, i wasn't sure what to expect from the 18-55mm lens and just found an enormous clump of thistles and got trigger happy! Stupidly, I left my tripod in the car so a lot of potentially good shots ended up just out of focus, but i'll know better for next time!

These little Bee Beetles where everywhere!

I did try rotating the image, but ended up back here!

And some little ladybird trying to reenact the famous scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark! (sorry ive had a hard day).
