Remembering Dad (who died a year and a half ago) on #FathersDay. It was Dad who encouraged my early interest in #nature and then, when I was in my teens, my passion for #WildlifePhotography.
Here he is in the #garden he loved so much, with some of the #wildlife he captured on camera there. Thanks Dad, and rest well.
Dad's #garden has provided me with many opportunities for #WildlifePhotography over the years, even when he was no longer able to tend to it. Pics here from 2016 to earlier this year, clockwise from top left: Common #Frog, #Robin, Seven-spot #Ladybird, and Brimstone #Butterfly.
There seem to be lots of ladybirds around here at the moment. As this one was posing next to a raindrop I felt it only right to share a little portrait...
Of course, I can't usually see them unless I'm up close already, or someone points them out to me, but once I know where to look I can see the colour OK.
