#60 Creep Thistle
Hey everyone, hope you’re all well? This beautiful little plant is the creep thistle, which is a bit of a mean name if you ask me! It’s a lot smaller (and not as jaggy) as the typical Scot’s thistle, Scotland’s national flower (I would have went with something else personally – we definitely have some […]

#59 Red Clover
Hey all, hope you had a nice weekend 🙂 After posting some nice shots of white clover a while back I had been keeping an eye out for some of it’s red counterpart and came across this beautiful specimen. They’re actually quite different close up which I hadn’t noticed before – the joys of macro […]

#58 Jewelled Amanita
Hey folks, hope you’re having a nice day 🙂 It might be pretty but this is one mushroom you don’t want to be eating. It’s called the jewelled amanita because as it ages the cap develops little white straight-edged blisters that look like jewels. It’s not as deadly as some of it’s relatives in the […]

#53 Fledgeling Dipper
Hey folks, hope we’re all well 🙂 This beautiful little ball of floof is a fledgeling white-throated dipper. Aren’t they gorgeous? The adults have a black body with a white throat and some brown colouring on the head, but the babies haven’t quite got all their colour through and have the lovely patterns on the […]

#52 Fairy Dust
Hey everyone, hope you’re all well 🙂 Today’s photo isn’t a particularly fancy shot, or technically impressive – I just think it’s kind of nice 🙂 I was trying to capture the light passing through the spider’s web (that I nearly walked into) and managed to capture the ethereal forest dust against the darker background […]

#51 White Clover II
Hello all, hope everyone is having a good day 🙂 More clover today. I’m quite stunned by how pretty these flowers are and that I haven’t noticed until now! I think that’s one of the great things about photography in general but particularly macro photography – you get close up to things that you’ve probably […]
