  3. Katie,

    beautiful images. I'm a budding birder and a newbie at blogging. I'll be subscribing to your blog. Love the main page too ...

    I can see why you are this week's "Blog of Note". You deserve it!

  4. Hi.

    Lived in leicester for 18 months, but never saw Lamb chop. Have you seen Ashdown? They are fantastic. They play regularly and the Charlotte and a couple of other places. The lead singer, Lee, is a friend/ ex-colleage of mine, and I bought their CD with me to Korea!

  6. I love the detail you capture in the close-ups. Not an original comment, I see from the list of them on just this post. :-) Nice job on the photography. You also have good taste in music.

  7. The snaps are so beautifully taken ! - we need to be reminded of the splendours of Earth....

    I wish I had a job related to environment - where I cd always be with nature ....rather than interacting with human race....

  11. you have mad macro skillz, and you must be quite a smooth-talker to get those bugs to sit still like that. what do you do, whisper to them sweet, delicious things about whatever other kind of bug that particular bug likes to eat?

  18. As many have said, beautiful pictures. I especially love the pictures that you took of the grass covered in dew with the spider web between the blades and the picture of the long beaked bird standing on top of the barbed wire fence post.

    I have recently been interested in photography myself and have picked up a hobby of capturing some of the fantastic sun sets that we have where I live. Link!

    Keep up your great work!
