Crow on a misty River

by

Hello there,
I was having a very soggy jog towards my favourite part of The Thames (Chiswick Mall), when I noticed this crow. I stopped to observe him in the rain and he was so calm, I thought I’d take the opportunity to get a quick photograph of him but he didn’t flinch. I took a few shots and spent the next 5 minutes resting next to him. Very special moment.

Innocent eyes of patch the dog

by

Here I took a photo of a friends dog in Chiswick house and gardens. In his eyes you can see a sense of tiredness and innocence. I like this photo for the defined focal point and blurred background. Also he’s just a good boy despite his larger figure.

Signets & water droplets

I frequently take my greyhound down to the river for a run and upon doing so, found this gorgeous signet looking up at me. I love to take photos of Chiswick and Barnes. I love where I live and all the wildlife.  Credit – Jayden Higgins.

Close up of ten spot ladybird

by

One of many ladybirds in the Kitchen Garden helping to keep aphids under control. A ladybug can eat up to 5,000 aphids over its lifetime. They can also help rid other soft-bodied insects, such as mites, mealybugs and leafhoppers, insect eggs, and even ants, without the need for insecticides. This close-up reveals details of this predator’s compound eyes and head that are impossible to see with the naked eye.
