Thanks for your visit & comments..

First attempt at capturing smoke rings.

Nikon D3200 - 90mm f/2.8 Macro -

Captured this at the RBG this past weekend. It was cool so it stayed put which was great. The sky was a little overcast which concerned me as sun usually adds impact. Got this up on the computer and got a great surprise. Zoom in on its shiny head and you will see me reflecting back at you....awesome.

This is a macro shot of a Petunia flower. The macro capture of the inside of the flower, shows a structure that looks like a sea creature - a Star Fish.

I love taking photos of rain droplets on little moss plants, or other tiny plants. You never know what the camera will reflect and magnify, and I do enjoy opening the pictures in the computer to see what's there. Often the detail has been so tiny, I've been unable to see it with my eyes.

Seen this little fella while at Clifton Grove Local Nature Reserve, Nottinghamshire.

It is one of the commonest garden butterflies, found throughout lowland England and Wales with a wingspan of 63mm. It's unmistakable, with quite spectacular eyes on the upperside of the hindwings that give this butterfly its name. These eyes must appear very threatening to predators, such as mice, that confront this butterfly head-on, where the body forming a "beak".

Découvrez ce magnifique papillon, le Gazé (Aporia crataegi), capturé dans un moment de quiétude au crépuscule. Le Gazé, aussi connu sous le nom de Piéride du prunier, est une espèce que l'on rencontre souvent dans les prés et les lisières des forêts. Ces ailes délicatement veinées sont une merveille de la nature, témoin de la richesse de notre biodiversité.

J'ai eu la chance d'observer ce spécimen lors d'une promenade matinale. La lumière du soleil levant créait une ambiance féerique, faisant ressortir la transparence des ailes du papillon. L'instant était magique et m'a rappelé l'importance de préserver ces magnifiques créatures pour les générations futures.

🔍 À votre avis, quelles sont les meilleures pratiques pour protéger les habitats des papillons comme le Gazé?

The are different types and sizes of Sphinx moths. This is one of the larger ones. They are very quick and hover and move much like Hummingbirds. Feeding on the fly.
