Have been out and about with my camera recently, taking pictures of small creatures both in the garden and on walks in the forest.
A caterpillar of a Monarch butterfly, taken in the garden.
A stick insect, a spiny flightless fearsome looking creature.
This is a cicada, of which only the males sing.
When they are young they spend many years underground, before they crawl up a tree trunk transform and leave an empty shell behind as the adult emerges.
A little water spider....
I only regret that my Nikon Coolpix 885 digital camera isn't really made for close-ups.
Hi all!
The last few weeks, well, since end of November really, have been quite busy. Work, travel, projects and pleasure also. Sorry for those who have been looking into my weblog for some news.
