Autumn Ladybirds

ByDawn

Did a bit of much needed work in the garden yesterday afternoon, and got a bit distracted by all the lovely Ladybirds I found. They looked very Autumnal crawling around in the old strawberry plant leaves, here’s a selection.

 

Finally, if you don’t like spiders, I suggest  you don’t scroll down…

 

 

No, really…

 

 

This rather large Garden spider (also know as ‘Cross spider’ due to the markings on the back) was right next to my ear as I was photographing the Ladybirds, and I only noticed she was there when I heard rustling…

    The coast in winter, the roar of the sea, beauty and ferocity. Wind whipped sea foam sparkling in the weak sun, the fizz of waves pouring over pebbles. A twittering from small birds dashing away from the rising tide. I visited the most easterly point in the UK, Ness Point in Lowestoft, in search of…

  • In the evening

    With the lovely long days at this time of year, I can spend a few hours out on the fen after work. The atmosphere in the evening is very different to sunrise, which is when I’m normally there. The reeds buzz and flicker with insects, damselflies and dragonflies, birds cruise through the warm sky and…
