Day 7: End.
This is the last post in this macro week. This one isn’t from the campus, though it is from the same day. I took the longer way home, past the ‘nicer’ houses which actually had front gardens. These flowers were close enough to the street that I wasn’t intruding too much. On a different note, I…

Day 6: Xenophyte.
Coming to an end of the second Macro Week. Again, no idea what’s the name of this plant but it’s probably a xenophyte: thick leaves and waxy cuticle – A-Level biology is finally useful! Another reason why I hate spiders: their webs make right eye-sores in photos sometimes.

Day 5: Manly Flowers
Again no idea what flowers they are but the tree, which was pretty much next to the plant from the previous post, was covered in this blossom so couldn’t not take a photo. This one is actually turned upside down since the blossoms were hanging down, it makes it look more interesting without looking unnatural.…

For all I know, this could be an apple blossom… Help with identification would be actually really appreciated/credited!

Start of Macro Week #2
Leicester campus doesn’t have the most exotic flowers but I tried to make the most of them (my macro lens definitely helped).

I hate spiders.
Slowly getting over irrational fears. This one is perfectly rational though, I mean… SPIDERS! This one I could handle though, a whole 1cm of spider! Needed some practice in insect macro in preparation for my formica rufa documentary and luckily got the mandibles in focus here.
