Friday was a day off work and my plans for visiting a couple of nature reserve sites to, hopefully, take some decent images of dragonflies were ruined by the rain and wind. It was Friday 13th after all – maybe I shouldn’t have even made any plans! I managed a few hours out yesterday afternoon, closer to home, but the only dragons I saw were zipping over my head. At this rate, it’ll be next year before I get another chance so I’ll just have to make do for now with the less-than-stellar ones I captured a few weeks ago.
I do seem to be getting better at taking pictures of flies’ bums though …. ;)
The photographs below are my favourites of the macro shots I’ve taken over the last month or so. (Yes, even the ones of the flies bums’!) Hope you enjoy them too.
