Again, here's just a small selection of some of the photos I've managed to take while out and about walking, and in some cases while at home. Many of these things we would normally just pass by without noticing but if you take your time to look there's an endless amount of subjects to photograph.
A wild orchid. Found along a pathway we regularly walk along, and there were lots of them, but we've never stopped to look closely before. Since we started noticing, there are literally hundreds of them, especially along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal towpath.
Taken in the back garden. So small you wouldn't have even noticed it but this little fly is, I think, a member of the Sapromyza family.
I hadn't found it easy to get a really good photo of these at the time. There always seemed to be part of it out of focus, but this is a Common Blue Damselfly.
And this was back-breaking work, much like building a garden railway. but I did manage to get this nice photo of a Grasshopper
