Butterfly

As we head into autumn here is a butterfly to remind us of sunshine!

Dragonflies

A couple of dragonflies rested long enough for me to photograph them - one at National Botanical Gardens, Carmarthenshire and the other at Choirokoitia, outside Limassol, Cyprus. I used a long lens as I didn't want to disturb them. You would swear that the one in the third photo is smiling at you!

Thistles for St Andrew's Day

Here are some photographs of Scotland's national flower to celebrate their saint's day.

Sunflowers

The sun caught the petals on these sunflowers to cast different light on both!

Flower power

I'm getting more used to using Program functions on my camera (just to show I don't always use Autofocus!) Here are some close ups of bees and other insects on flowers. If you look very closely at the white flower you just may see a greenfly!

Pi

We spent a day recently at the National Botanical Gardens of Wales outside Carmarthen and by accident caught these people in and around the Pi statue!
