Quiet moments are my favourite kind of moments. If you are trying to take photos of potentially skittish small creatures, quiet moments are essential. Sometimes I find myself holding my breath as I creep closer to try and get that shot. Sometimes they pose nicely, sometimes they flit away as soon as the camera is raised!
Here are a few quiet moments with creatures found around my garden yesterday:
A Meadow Brown butterfly taking a rest on a leafA Red Admiral butterfly showing off its wings beautifully for meA Green Shieldbug observing me as I observe him!Mr Shieldbug decides he’s not that interested, and gives me his back view instead, which is actually rather interestingA delicate Lacewing that fluttered around me and alighted on some grass flowers to allow me a quick shotA frog in my pond, enjoying his own quiet moment, almost hidden away amongst the abundance of wildflower plants
I hope these photos have given you a quiet moment, just observing, and enjoying 🙂
I think nature best exemplifies quiet moments. Lovely shots! ❤

How is it they always know when the camera is raised Suzy?! You’re always able to capture them nonetheless! Lovely images as always

I love the lacewing. I can kind of see you tiptoeing around the yard. Lol. Nature hike in your own yard. Fun. Donna
