Moving on to Image Two, again macro-photograph of the stamen and anthers. I've changed the angle of image with the result that these two parts are separated from the yellow flower by the green that occurs deep within. Although the anthers are slightly out of focus, their placing on the top horizontal 'third' makes them very much the visual focus, with the stamen, completely in focus, sitting on almost dead centre.

The truth of these words struck me as I looked at this oak leaf, gradually trading it's verdant green for rusty gold.

The beauty of late summer is with us, I refuse to call it autumn yet, for my mental health's sake. This year the hedgerows, woods and orchards are dripping with harvest.

This blog is my first attempt at a video where I share a few thoughts on how you can get really stunning butterfly pictures here in the Uk. Earlier in the year, I spoke of the need for long lens or long and macro. This was based on the 'flittiness' of these beauties in the height of summer when they have much more energy due to the heat and sun, As summer comes to the end, there is a late hatch, in this case, of Red Admirals Vanessa atalanta.
