Bug hunting at Paxton Pitts

These are the results of a couple of trips to Paxton Pitts, looking for insects.  Having seen Barry's, and after a subtle hint (so much easier to do now that you can just email an Amazon link), I got a Yongnuo Macro Ring Flash for my birthday.  Still getting to grips with it.  Some of these shots were taken with the flash and some without.

 With.

 

Without.

Hampton Court Gardens

Sunday was my birthday, and I spent a pleasant afternoon wandering around the gardens of Hampton Court Palace.  There wasn't time to see the inside, that will have to wait for another trip.

 

  

A few from Waresley wood

A few shots from Waresley wood, taken over the bank holiday weekend.  The bluebells were at their best.
