I have been Blogging since 2011. I first started with 2 Blogs about nail polish, which I do from time to time. My main focus is on my more recent Blog which is about photography, mainly nature and wildlife. Welcome to my little world :-)

Small But Mighty

 

Bronze Weevil in Scotland

Check out this little weevil on the leaf! I love weevils and their lovely patterns and colours. This is from May last year. There is a part of the canal not far from where I am, about 15 minutes in the car, and in May there are loads of weevils, damselflies and other wonderful insects. I have been going there for a good few years now for photos. There is also a nice restaurant near where I park the car that do a nice coffee. So I am hoping to get there in May.

  2. Oi, Ananka! Li seu post anterior, que bom que você está se recuperando bem, isso é maravilhoso! Sim, em maio você voltará ao trecho do canal para tirar mais fotos. A maioria das pessoas não repara nos pequenos detalhes da natureza, então você é uma pessoa rara por reparar no padrão lustroso deste gorgulho. Um abraço!
    (❁´◡`❁)Beijos nas bochechas!
