  • Brushed the dust off my old Canon 450d today, nearly 10 years old now and still working fine.

    2 'tenants' from my garden :O) Soon there will be lots of butterflies and other things here, will try to shoot and post some.

That's superb!

Do you know the species? SWMBO says she doesn't think it's a Speckled Wood. Helpful as ever!

Have seen them in my garden here, they run away at the slightest noise or sign of human, but would not like to be situated between one and it's offsprings...

As the weather is on the turn I thought I would check on the frogs. Bad news is the fox appears to have eaten the content of the pond in the past fortnight while I was away.

So I decided to take a picture of the quiet spot in the garden before tomorrow's frost.
