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…

It is the first day of Spring and the sun is shining. I can’t wait for all the insects to come out and for there to be some macro photography again. I have missed it. While in Spain I was spoilt with all year round photo opportunities, the UK is not so accommodating weather wise.

But last year, I made the effort in my new garden and planted more than I should have. Leading to some wonderfully colourful photos, but a fair amount of keeping it all in order and having to cull some of the more overbearing plants.

I’m not sure what will grow back, but that’s half the fun, seeing what nature will do and trying to compliment it.

As the delicate butterfly
Passing through
Does flutter by
I follow it and if I try
To work out what
And maybe why
He rarely stops
Or says goodbye
Because of course
He’s a butterfly

I could see from my afternoon walk the clouds would be nice at sunset if they hung around. So I got the dog lead back out and walked to the park. I love the winter trees when they look stark against the sky, today was no exception. It gets dark so quickly you have to be quick to catch a good sunset, hopefully there will be more to come.

This morning I was up a bit earlier than I would have liked, but the sunrise made it worth it.
