Nice!
It plays tricks with my eyes, almost as if it's a zoom burst.

Yes it’s quite weird isn’t it?

Week 26 - Snapper's Choice

I've literally run out of time this week. Had virtually no opportunity to get out with the camera, so here's a ladybird munching on greenfly on one of my lupins.

Thanks for looking Alan! Apparently this is a Harlequin ladybird.

Nice shot of the evil invasive thing Simon.

Harlequins come in several colours and spot numbers.

Good shot, and great to see some of the little green bar-stewards getting munched.

Week 27 - Opposites

A quick and dirty early submission as I'm busy all weekend and then away Mon-Weds next week golfing....nobody said retirement was this busy!

I like that - though I did originally think the chalk was uncooked sausages.
