Photo Blog #4
Good news everyone! To make up for me being a day late (too busy not working - it's tiring stuff you know) with this photo blog post, I thought I'd provide two photos. Double the fun!
First up is a biology lesson. A few weeks back my photo blog featured a dragonfly emerging from its chrysalis. Well kids, to get there a mummy dragonfly and a daddy dragonfly (who don't really love each other very much - in fact, they just met) do this funky dance thing around the pond while flying joined together. This picture doesn't do it justice, but thought it would provide some interest.
Second up, and the main image for this week, is another creepy crawly. This one I'm not so happy with, and I ummed and ahhed for a while about whether it was good enough, and it probably isn't, but nevermind. I feel I've over-done the very short depth of field, trying to blur the background and foreground, and I ended up bluring some of the caterpillar too.
It'll be a large cabbage white butterfly when it grows up, by the way, and was enjoying my broccoli very much when I found it.
