Quiet Moments
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…… Continue reading Quiet Moments
Damp Dandelion Clocks
This week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge is ‘All wet’. There are many dandelion clocks (seed heads) in my garden. Some people don’t like dandelions and treat them as weeds, trying to wipe them out from their neat lawns. Not me. Apart from the fact that I like how they look, they are good food for bees…… Continue reading Damp Dandelion Clocks
Hand in hand through their pondlife
My pond is full of life at the moment 🙂 There are newtlets galore (well, at least 6) and adult newts too (harder to get a decent shot of). The Frogbit (tiny lily pads) is resurfacing too.

I have been enjoying our ‘meadow’ of lovely long grass in…… Continue reading Ending of June

One might almost say it is too hot at times (but that is just because I am a pale feeble person who doesn’t deal well with heat!). It has been…… Continue reading Weekend Pottering
Froggy Return
Our frog disappeared for a while and we thought maybe he’d hopped it. However, as I was sat by the pond on Sunday, contemplating whether there was anything else we should do to make it really appealing to wildlife, I looked up to see a frog looking back at me from the pond! And guess…… Continue reading Froggy Return
Tiny Frogs
Today on our regular walk round to the pond in the village, there was great excitement as we realised the tadpoles’ transformation was pretty much complete! The first tiny baby frogs have started to emerge and at various points around the edge of the pond, we found them sitting, getting used to being frogs :)…… Continue reading Tiny Frogs
