174/366 – Toasted Sesame Seeds

Friday’s are always a tricky day for the 365 project because we are in relax mode and tend to watch the telly (Game of Thrones on the Sky+ box – cracking!) more than I would normally. So, as usual, 10.30pm came along and I needed something to shoot. We had

Dashed out after dinner this evening to catch the sunset. It’s nearly the longest day so, even I , didn’t manage to miss it today. This is a shot from the top of a hill on the edge of Thaxted with the windmill and church easily visible.

Winter Damselfly

This may or may not be a winter damselfly – its colours are right but it could just be an immature damselfly of another variety. It was seen on the River Pant at Little Bardfield.

Grasses

Apologies for the less than regular updates recently – don’t forget you can keep up with me on my 366 Project as well as here. Today I was in Little Bardfield looking for bugs, and I found loads – I suspect you’ll be seeing a few here over the next
