Tuesday’s are often the hardest day to complete a daily photograph as I have work, tea and then straight out to Camera Club, it really doesn’t help when it absolutely pours down all day. I had planned (I do sometimes think ahead, although not often!) to photograph the New England
This hoverfly was very keen to get as deep into the lavender as possible.
I believe this is a Japanese Anemone (or a variant on that). I’ve been watching these growing in a couple of gardens I walk past on my morning walk and had it in my mind to photograph these when next I had my macro lens with me which I did
The Aster is coming along nicely, it’s only a few days since I last photographed it, the addition of the red in the petals gives this a nicely evil feel. See also the Echinacea in its formative days.
I think this is a small purple and gold (Pyrausta aurata) moth also known as a Mint Moth…and we do have mint in the garden. I’m a bit unsure because, well, there’s not much purple on it and last time we had these in the garden they were quite purple.
Debbie has a new flower about to bloom to keep me entertained when I have nothing else to photograph. This is a New England aster (Aster novae-angliae) and as you will gather, it hasn’t bloomed just yet, but it’s on its way. We have a couple of the flower heads
There’s been a certain lack of energy and inspiration today (well, much of this week to be fair), so all you’re getting today is a moth with a rather vivid purple (plant pot) background 😉
That honey bee from a few days ago is back on the echinacea, but this time she seems to have got something in her eye!
I was mooching around the garden looking for a subject when this tiny moth flew past me and tried to hide behind one of the sunflowers. I found it and here you have today’s photo. By a lucky coincidence I also got that lovely magenta echinacea background, they are definitely
I went super macro today and got silly close to a few things in the garden. I liked the colours in this abstract shot of the honeysuckle, I then worked my way around the garden, I particularly like the stinging nettles…I will revisit these before Debbie rips them out.
