Yet another ladybird...

A rather heavily cropped image taken a while ago (crop required care of the full frame sensor on my EOS 5D Mark II). I think I am starting to see why macro 'pros' do focus stacking, the depth of field is tiny!

Wildflowers

More 'weeds', or wildflowers as I think I prefer! I particularly like the background on these.

Something different

Electricity pylon's are an eye-sore to most, but I think this makes for a nice image.

Sunset

While not a lovely orange sunset, I like how the sky silhouette's these trees.

Where did this come from?!

I thought these had all been killed off by unusual bugs a few years ago, but to my surprise, hidden under brambles and other foliage was this very photogenic tullip.

Bluebells

Not nearly as many of these out as I'd hoped this weekend, giving me yet more excuses to do macro shots. Hoping to get some wide-angle shots once there are more about though.

Unusual surroundings?

This was probably one of the more difficult photo's I've taken. Getting a good angle for the photo, and to make the ladybirds visible, made more difficult by and annoyingly placed fence stump!
