    Cricket

    This little fella was sitting on my desk in front of my keyboard this morning. I couldn't resist taking its' portrait as it posed so nicely for me. Afterwards I let it outside and gave it its freedom in return.

    Oh. With the 1st Test v India starting today at Edgbaston I thought I'd be seeing a shot of some leather upon willow!

    Nice shot, though.

    It's nice when the wildlife comes to you. One evening last week I had a female banded demoiselle on the inside of the kitchen window, with some lovely evening light bringing out the iridescence. By the time I grabbed the camera she'd moved outside and by the time I'd got outside myself she'd flown off. But it was still nice to see.

        Nice shot, maybe my phone, but looks like the focus has just missed the eye/head?
