• Butterflies And Lack Thereof.

  This pretty much sums up this year’s butterfly abundance, though this could also be a wasp nesting.

• Day 7: Sap.

  What you see at the right bottom of the berry is not rain or dew. That’s solidified sap. I remember I used to eat cherry sap off the trees as a child… I wasn’t the most normal of children.

• Day 6: Depleted.

  I took the photo because even though the flower was non-existent, it had this grace about it, the petals still being in the viscinity of the stem.

• Day 5: Own Garden.

  This is taking garden-creeping to the next level. Taken at an allotment centre, with 10s of gardens next to each other and lots of flowers/plants to photograph. I don’t have all that many photos to show though. It was quite rainy hence the water droplets but during editing I managed to figure out how to…

• Day 4: Purple Veins.

  More from creeping into people’s front gardens. Love overcast days for the soft light they give on flowers. Makes nice, smooth images. The plant looks like it should be the flower of beet plants.

• Day 3: Stalk Dead.

  Bit of a creepy title but it’s a bit of a creepy photo. Again, not a clue what plant this is but it looked cool so I clicked the button and made this. The distortion is done by my favourite thing – foreground subject blur, where the thing is so close to the camera, the…

• Day 2: Hanged Red.

  As I’ve said before. Please feel free to comment with the name of the flower, I’d love to know and look stupid showing these otherwise… Alike many others, this shot is from the street, looking into peoples gardens…

• Filmmaking.

  I skipped a 6am post the other day so this is making up for it. I started an MA Wildlife Filmmaking course 4 weeks ago and this is the first photo since the start (taken 4 weeks ago). This breaks up the chronology a little bit but is more up to date than the current…

• Day 7: Keep Your Enemies Closer.

  Being in love with wildlife photography, it’s a bit of a disadvantage to be afraid of spiders bigger than a 1p coin. Everyone says full immersion is the cure but I’d rather just have a mutual agreement not to bother each other. This guy/gal was just chilling on his/her web so I took a photo.…
