Cold, with brilliant sunshine and a bright blue sky.

never thought how like claws or nails are the adder's (Vipera berus) scales...

Many thanks to Conall for kindly identifying this as Helophilus pendulus, commonly known as "The Footballer"

5 handsome adders (Vipera berus), 2 of which are especially fine in their breeding colours.

Racking my brains for "Patterns in Nature" for this week's Macro Mondays theme. Looking out of the bathroom window over the garage roof it became obvious which pattern I needed to try and capture.

We have a very artistic snail, who often leaves a small pattern on a tile. I have thought of photographing it before, but decided today was the day. This necessitated hanging out of the small fanlight window with camera held firmly (although we're only on the ground floor, there is quite a drop between house and garage).

Unable to be absolutely certain of dimensions, but I would say this is 3" maximum dimensions, as I was fairly close to the tile.

This male was found in the same place on February 20th 2023. It is basking on top of a pile of bracken completely exposed to predators, of which there were two buzzards circling directly above.

The patterns in this dandelion are amazing.

This moth is usually elusive. It is nocturnal. It feeds on the leaves of the red maple tree, so no surprise to see it, I have two red maples in my backyard.

A heavy frost at 18 degrees F. (7.77 C.) created this frost pattern on our backyard corkscrew willow tree.
