Garden spiders UK

Amazing how many different spiders there have been just in my small garden. I have listed all the ones from the last two years and hopefully will get more this year. And because I have a number of pics for each, I think a post showcasing each of them will soon come as well 🙂

Coral

I have a piece of coral that my grandparents used to have in their house when I was growing up. It fascinated me and was delighted when they gave it to me. Funny to think this coral has been in my family longer than I have! This week it has stepped up as a great photography subject. It’s highly likely I will be posting more coral shots.

Large Red Damselfly

My previous garden (by about 4), had a small well established pond and beautiful mature garden bringing in so much wildlife it was amazing to me. During the spring damselflies were appearing everyday as well as dragonflies. It took me a few days to realise they were emerging from the pond! I’ll do another post of one I caught in the act – quite a sight I must say. This one stopped for a mini photo shoot.
