Another macro insect photo from my garden. This guy had a damaged wing and couldn't fly, just had to hop around from flower to flower.

One of the macro groups that I am a member of on flickr has a competition going with a theme of keys - this is my entry.

marigold visitor

A trip to my Mums and she has a few flowers in her garden. I spotted this on a marigold - I don't know what it's called, I need to work on identifying the bugs I keep photographing.

busy bee

Recently for my photo a day project I have been taking photos of bugs in my garden, so far this is my favourite. It was taken on my Sony A450 using the SAL30M28 lens - 30mm macro. shot at 1:1 and I cropped it a little as well.

May 2012 mosaic

Here is the mosaic for May's photos from my 2012 year in pictures project. With this month the weather has been all over the place, sometimes really hot and sunny, others it's been quite wet. Most of my photos this month have been of insects and flowers - only seven of them were indoors. Hope you like the photos, if you want to check them out in more detail they are in this flickr set.

I also have January, February, March and April available if you want to check them out.
