210-365v4 Bubble Bubble Toil and Trouble

You find some interesting subjects when you’re looking around the garden for something to photograph. This is in the bird bath which Debbie cleans regularly, but it always get’s dirty really quickly. I have no idea why there would be this build up of bubbles under this feather, but it

206-365v4 Nature’s Bed of Nails

189-365v4 Silver Washed Fritillary

We went for a walf through the rather lovely Hockley Woods today. Just outside Southend, it’s always surprising where you can find Sites of Special Scientific Interest, which this is one of. There were butterflies galore and I was rather kicking myself that I had left the macro lens in
