We are lucky to have fly them over the garden quite often, so I get to take my time and try and get a good shot. Occasionally I do 🙂

Wildlife
Jumping spider #1
Had a good little selection of things to photograph at the weekend in the garden. This little one was on the door frame before I even got outside and I managed to catch him on the run. I have some great shots from Spain and will post more as they are really cute when you get a moment to look at them. (unless spiders really aren’t your thing, then maybe not so cute).

Starling flock in slow motion
When we first had proper snow in January, I decided to go out in the morning and try and get some slowmo footage of the large snowflakes. As I positioned my phone upwards and hit record, a flock of starlings flew over perfectly in frame! Felt very lucky to capture that, I must admit 🙂

Ladybird in the garden
More spring from this weekend in the garden.

On the piss
On the piss. A funny saying here in the UK for when something is on the lean or not in a straight line (not sure if it’s common elsewhere). Also used for going out to get inebriated. On the lash being an interchangeable term for this also, and now and again one might use getting shit faced to explain what your purpose is for a Friday night or weekend. I love language and its uses and meaning!
Yesterday we had a bit of play in the sun with the ball. On the way back she looked as if she would fall over 🤣 action shots are so much fun.

Rosemary Beetle
Not the best shot as it wouldn’t turn around and was quite shy. But such beautiful colours and a metallic look.

Mt Maroma – 28.01.18
I loved having this as my view for a year, it never looked the same one day to the next.

A bit of winter
Been out for a few snaps of the snow, it’s more than I’ve seen for a while. The trees looked magical ❄

Stonechat close up
We had a number of stonechats in Spain which frequented the garden, giving me ample opportunity to get some good shots. But this one stopped near me while I happened to already have my camera in hand and didn’t mind me gradually getting closer and closer. Even singing a bit while I was taking pictures. You can’t help get the feeling sometimes nature enjoys being watched.
