Rest Your Wings A Moment

I went for a walk in the woods today.
After struggling to catch any decent butterfly shots, I had all but given up and was heading back to the car when this Green-Veined White (I think) came past me and settled on a Celandine. It stayed there feeding from the flower for just long enough for me to drop down to my knees, bring the camera up and fire off a few shots before it was gone again.

I was quite glad I'd left my knee pads on and the camera awake and ready to go!

Into The Blue

A backup photo today, I was doing my sound man bit, and the photos I took at the gig weren't anything to write home about (second pic after the jump just to prove it happened!)

The Picnic Is Cancelled

I went for an evening wander round Highfields park and came across this rather unhappy looking table.

Lichen

I went for a rather pleasant walk after an early finish from work. We had great weather, so I thought I'd better make the best of it before the forecast storms roll in!
The air quality here must be fairly good, there's a huge amount of lichen around.

The Air Is Alive!

I went for a walk at Attenborough Nature Reserve this evening. The air was thick and humming with flies down by the river.
I went for a slow shutter speed to capture the frenzied nature of the swarm.
One more after the jump.
