Day 5: Unnoticed.
I also didn’t notice the small bug on the stalk when taking the photo and truthfully, if I hadn’t spotted it in Lightroom I wouldn’t have posted the photo.

Day 2: Stay or Leave.
I was really looking forward to august since weve had a swarm of butterflies around our buddleia bush last year. I checked up on it every other day for a month and thebest I could catch was this… and it’s not even on that plant. Any lepidopterers on here know anything about this years butterfly…

Day 3: A Bug’s Life.
2nd of 4 rose photos this Macro Week. The small size of the bug I think actually adds to the delicacy of the rose.

Day 2: Distorted.
It was an overcast day which was good for smooth, delicate macro shots. The bokeh here came out so deep that it’s almost dizzying to look at.
