Splash!

We were throwing in acorns at the lake and fish must of thought they were a yummy treat. I was trying to photograph the splashes every time they jumped out of the lake.

At the lake there were lots reflection and this one looks like a herd of diplodocus had come for a drink.

Binoculars and Birdfairs

I went to the birdfair with my family and I thought the banner would make a great photo to start this blog. There's the RSPB on one side and on the other side is the Wildlife trust.

I like the different sizes of the bins and the way they stood up in rows.

 I saw some more bins, voila, an idea came to my head, line them up again and take another picture. I like the way they get more focused further away as normally it is the other way round.

And to end the day I spotted a Little Egret and watched it using the show bins!

Encouraging The Grown Ups

Grandma's friend Irene opens up her garden for people to look round every Wednesday. Me and my brother Findlay asked Irene if we could have a stand in the garden to talk to the grown ups about moths, butterflies and birds.  We set up the moth trap the night before, so we would have some moths to show everyone.

These people stayed for nearly an one hour and they where very interested in everything we had on the stand. Lots of people came to talk to us and most of them had lots of questions. Some of them went away to eat scones.

 And this is on our stand. Here are the moths we were showing people. The brime stone and the Large emerald were everybodies favourite. On the stand as well we had a butterfly chart showing their actual sizes.

Irene was really kind letting us do it and when Juliano got home, we all watched a Red Kite fly over the garden. I hope all the people like moths a bit more now.

Reflection

I like this picture because the sky looks better in the reflection with all the trees.

The picture was taken in Wales.

Irene's Garden

I am talking about both photos in this bit. We went to a garden you could visit and the owner is called Irene. Irene is a friend of Grandmas. You would not believe how big her garden is. It was like the size of 9 blue whales. I was looking all over the place. I didn't want to leave it was that good and big. Irene's garden had lots of EPIC photos to take like this one below. I went up to this friendly grown up and I said " If you stand from here you can get the wood, hedges, pot and flowers. To be fair it was a bit of a good photo. By the way I am not saying I am the best at photography.

How I got the photo was I got under the tree and leaves and put my camera against the tree and went out looking. I waited until I could hear it focus and I took the photo.

If you look at one side it is ruff and if you look at the other it is smooth and I like the fence how it splits them up.

For this next picture I put the camera on top of the hedge and then looked towards the sky and took the photo. I really like the way the picture turned out.

I found this roller hidden in the bushes and though it would make an interesting picture. I think it did.

I would like to say thank you to Irene for letting me have so fun much in her enormous garden.

Monster Moths

First we built a moth trap. I was going to blow up it was that amazing, and then we put it behinded the tree  and waited until it was the next morning and my expert Findlay and my dad got up near the time 5.00.  Soon I got up and said " Are you doing it all ready " The moths were in the pots, big / small. We set up a place where we would put the moths for photographs and for the dark ones we put them on a light coloured log. I like the colour of the moths and a lot look really furry like a furry bear.

Elefant Hawk Moth.

Then we went to get the next moth a...

Garden Tiger Moth 

This next one looks like it was around in the dinosour time and the face looks like a cat fish, even the wings looks like a dragon. Does the moth have a curved tail for a reason, do you now why?

Poplar Hawk Moth.  

 This moth looks like a twig.

Buff Tip 

I really enjoyed having a go with the moth trap.

Grandma's Chickens

I was taking photos of Grandma's hens and I think this one was trying to lay a egg, but Grandma put the hen on top of the run so me and Findlay could take a photo (and Grandma wanted to be in it to). I got down on my knees to get this photo and on this photo the hen looks very grumpy and a bit evil, but Grandma doesn't. This hen is called Windy she looks a little bit like a pheasent. 

When I said ''The hen looks evil.'' I meant if you look in the eye that looks evil. Anyway it had enough on the shed and jumped off and joined the other hens. I got a photo of the hen jumping off but it was bit blurred. I can not remember if it layed an egg, but for breakfast I had an omlette, lets hope there was not a chick in there. Yuk. The omlette tasted nice though. I like the photo because Grandma is peeping behind the hen.

I was practising my hen photos and doing it in different angles and I wanted to get the silly hens in a bunch with their bums in the air and them looking up, also them eating grass I wonder whet that tastes like. 

My grandma said that will be a good photo if you get the hen in all the grass and guess what, it was a good photo even if I say so my self.

 We were driving along a track and I wanted to stop because I spotted a bunch of poppys, like the hens were in a bunch to.
