Normally I only post these photos to [community profile] common_nature, but I want to have a record of them here on my own journal. Hence, here is a series of wildlife photos I've taken through this spring and summer, mostly with my 100 mm macro lens.

I love burnets.

We've been seeing so many butterflies and moths on our recent walks.

Lovely!

The moth looks almost like someone had a competition for an impressive but unlikely colour scheme for moths.

Those are lovely! I'll have to remember to show Husband when he comes home. He'll like those butterflies. :)
