The gloomier months are much more fun with a macro lens! Everything is interesting if you look hard enough.

(Canon 100mm L Macro)

It's November 8th but feels like Spring - loads of flowers still out and insects taking advantage. Also, a leaf showing its Mesophyll cells, some magnified in beads of water.

A hapless insect has fallen foul of sticky feet on a Sundew plant in my garden (it has been rescued, as the plant didn't manage to make use of its catch!).

A few shots from this morning's unseasonably warm walk in North London - Canon EF 100 mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM

Wasps and flies are unsung pollinators. Let them live - they are integral to our food chain.

One year of profit could save the world.

The world's largest companies made $327 billion last year. Include Aramco and Alphabet, and it’s $533 billion. This amount could fund protection for all ecosystems on Earth. Instead, they subsidise destruction by $2.6 trillion a year.

There was only one festival-worthy act at Glastonbury, The Prodigy. A sensory overload from start to finish - they showed how festivals should be done. Maxim standing guard during Firestarter was emotional! Just brilliant.

Seven years as larvae, just weeks as an adult. Sadly, stag beetles are becoming increasingly rare due to loss of habitat and overly tidy gardens that remove the dead wood they need. They’re now protected by law in the UK, and every sighting helps.

From paving to paradise - it's time to re-wild. Paved driveways look ugly, increase surface water and remove homes for nature. Green havens increase natural diversity, reduce flooding, increase value and look a whole lot better.
