Spotted: a dragonfly and a ladybird on the same day! I was lucky to get the first picture with just my iPhone before the traffic lights turned green. And as you can tell from the second picture, I’ve been keeping my promise to walk in the garden more [...]
The other day, I was out in the garden with Kaylin after a downpour when I noticed how pretty the flowers looked with raindrops on them. That was when I realised how long it had been since I really looked at flowers. So I took a few photographs. Then we saw a snail, [...]
