Maya in motion…

I love trying to get photographs of my dog, she doesn’t make it easy by any stretch. If I am taking pictures of something else, she gives me space. But when we are playing outside and she becomes the subject, she either looks away, moves, or runs towards me. So just after I throw the ball and just before she reaches me are my moments of opportunity. Here are a few of our recent shots…

Yellow Rose…

The garden is starting to have more colour now, the first of the roses has opened, we begin with yellow.

I think the white one is due next but we will see, the sunshine has gone away for a few days and has been replaced by some much needed rain. More flowers to come.

Angle Shade Moth

There was a rather lovely Angle Shade moth in the garden this morning, just trying to get some sun on the steps. Luckily I managed to save it from my dog – which really is the only reason I spotted it, but definitely saved it from the playful inquisitive hungry nature of a one year old Labrador. I always feel lucky to be surrounded by nature, but when something this special starts the day I feel extra lucky. Now the warm weather has started there shall be lots more wildlife in the garden to come hopefully…
