One of my favourite subjects to photograph are the Grasshoppers! There are plenty around at the moment and they come in all different shapes and sizes.

Small Skips
Even though I really enjoy using my macro, I find it impossible to leave the house without my big lens. On days like today, when macro is pretty well the only option I have to carrying an extra couple of kilos of ballast for no apparent reason. One day I will learn to leave it at home....perhaps.
Hide & Seak
Hedbury, one of the long abandoned cliff quarries that scar the Purbeck coast is home to a number of Wall Lizards. As with all of our reptiles, they are great fun to photograph.
I spent quite a while playing with this one until it decided that company wasn't all that good.
Traffic Jams?
A walk along the Purbeck coast was on the cards this morning and the weather was just about perfect.
Bright sunshine, big blue skies and a very slight cool breeze made the walk easy, and a pint at Durlston Castle rounded things off very nicely.

Like Ships In The Night
There seems to be plenty of yachts on the water at the moment, perhaps it's the Olympic effect or maybe the cost of fuel!
Either way, I think they look a lot nicer than motor boats and they are far bit quieter.
Into The Blue
It seems a long time since we had blue skies like this, but I have the next couple of days off to go wandering and so I have high hopes.
This was one of a couple of Peregrines that we saw last weekend, they are a regular sighting along the Purbeck coast these days, which is not a bad thing at all.

Number 28
The Nuthatch, number twenty eight on the list of birds that have had dinner in my garden.
I am still not used to having a garden and so everything that pops in makes me stupidly excited!
