2 of the shieldbug type insects seen on my walk to and from the nature reserve on Sunday.
I can not work out what either is so any help with ID would be welcome.

A brown and white English pointer leaps off an old wooden dock into a small tree-lined lake. Behind him, a barefoot young woman in jeans has just thrown a ball for her canine companion to retrieve.
This image was inspired by something I saw this weekend. My family and I went to see something called DockDogs, which bills itself as the world’s largest canine aquatics competition. Essentially, it was a long jump contest for dogs. The owner or trainer would throw a ball or some similar dog toy across a pool and their dog would dash down a runway and leap in after it. I'd never heard of such a thing before seeing it. It was rather fun to watch.
If you follow me on facebook, deviantart, or fineartamerica, you'll see that this is rather compositionally similar to my next major work that I'll be releasing in a few days. I didn’t realize it until I was about to publish this one. I guess it's just what I had on my mind. Consider it a sort of preview.
A re-edit of an old image at Clarence Dock, Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kongdom. Clarence Dock is a shopping and leisure destination in central Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It also hosts a large residential population in waterside apartments, as well as a significant office presence.
Clarence Dock was developed as a £250 million mixed-use development between 2001 and 2007 and is located by the River Aire next to the Royal Armouries Museum which faces onto Armouries Square. Clarence Dock's main shopping street radiates southbound off Armouries Square and is called 'The Boulevard'. Another important focal point is 'The Anchorage' at the top of the dock itself. The whole development opened officially to the public in late 2007. The retail and leisure sector of the development was launched on Saturday 11 October 2008 with fashion shows from celebrity fashion consultant and TV presenter Gok Wan. Upon completion, Clarence Dock now attracts around 1.5 million visitors a year.[citation needed]
The Clarence Dock development scheme features Clarence House, a 218-foot (66 m) tower consisting of 227 apartments and six retail units. Upon completion in April 2007, it became the eighth tallest building in Leeds, it has however now been pushed to being the twelfth tallest building.
Clarence Dock also plays host to the Annual Waterfront Festival each June with Dragon Boat Racing, Stalls and other activities being centered around Armouries Square.

Friday night is shopping night. When I leave the store there is usually a delivery truck on the loading bay, or just arriving.
Built by David Sassoon, this is a dock in Colaba open to the public. The fish market here is a sight to see! Here's the view from our house, which has a perfect view of the proceedings. In fact, I can even hear people haggling and bargaining for the right price!
It was an 8 hour drive from Knoxville but well worth the trip. We arrived in the early morning, just the perfect time at the dock as the boats were unloading their haul.

The old Thelson Marine Oils pier near Alexander Dock in Hull. Once used as a berthing spot for tankers to discharge straight onto trains, now in serious disrepair. the concrete walkway has subsided into the river in only the last year or so, angling the train lines like this. It probably will be entirely inaccessible in a short while. A rusting, rotting, dilapidated beauty. Thelson oils also distributed road maps in the thirties..

The Alexandra Dock was built in 1885 as part of the construction of the Hull and Barnsley Railway; a railway and dock company proposed for the purpose of increasing the rail transportation and dock facilities in Hull. The dock was built to the east of Victoria Dock with an outlet to the Humber. Water to fill the dock came from drains to the north of the dock, which was intended to minimise the silting up of the dock that would be caused by ingress of water from the Humber; it had an area of 46.5 acres (188,000 m2).[63]
The entrance lock was 550 ft (170 m) long at 85 ft (26 m) wide. Two graving docks, one 500 ft (150 m) long and 60 ft (18 m) wide, the other a little bigger were also built at the northeast corner of the dock. Its primary purpose was the export of coal.[63]
In 1899/1900 the dock was expanded by 7 acres (28,000 m2).[63][64] A pier onto the Humber estuary was added in 1911,[65] the pier was 1,350 ft (410 m) with a 18 ft (5.5 m) minimum depth of water at spring tides, and was equipped with electric conveyors for the transportation of coal.[56] The area of the wharf, west of the dock entrance was proposed for a riverside container terminal in the 2000s, the project Quay 2005 gained approved in December 2005.[66]
Alexandra Dock closed in 1982[67] at which time the connection to the rail network was removed,[68] in 1991 the dock re-opened[67] but without a rail connection.[69] As of 2010 the dock handles cargoes including aggregates, bulk agricultural products and bulk chemicals, and wood. The dock also has a Ro-Ro terminal.[59]
In January 2011 Siemens and Associated British Ports signed a memorandum of understanding concerning the construction of wind energy machine manufacturing plant at Alexander Dock. The plan would require some modification of the dock to allow the ships, used for transporting the wind turbines, to dock and be loaded,[70][71][72] and would make use of the Quay 2005 riverside facilities, which had already gained planning consent.[73][74]
[edit] King George Dock and Queen Elizabeth Dock
Took a little excursion at lunch time to Ruislip Lido having noticed that there was a dock pocking out from the trees.
It looks far bigger from the satellite view in Google Maps than it does from dry land but still an interesting challenge. I wanted to get a very still look from the water but it was very bright and the combination of a small aperture, ND filter and a long exposure just weren't playing nicely. One thing I realised as I typed this is that I forgot to adjust the exposure which would have helped.
The ducks weren't playing nicely either, and you can see one that jumped up on the dock!
