Well shot sir.
Well worth bringing on the walk.
Are you sure it's a cardinal beetle? I always thought they had a red shell and were black under it.
Possible red soldier beetle. Or you may well be right.
Cracking shot whatever it is. 👏👏👏
I know what i like, If not always why.

Nicely captured - love the warm light on white flowers, is it a sunny morning or evening shot?

Thanks folks.
Derek897 - On a more careful look, I think you're right. Red soldier beetle rather than red cardinal beetle. Checking pictures late at night has its downside. Thanks for spotting the error.
Lennybloke - It was approaching sunset. I don't do low sun in the morning photography when the sun rises at the time it does at the moment and the dog won't walk in the heat of the day, so evening it has to be. Good for sunsets, silhouettes, shadows across undulating landscape and all accompanied by the sound of blackcap, song thrush, blackbird, wren, chiff-chaff and more.

Hard to beat late evening sun, and the long shadows across the landscape.
You paint an equally pleasing image with words as you do with your camera.
👏👏👏👏👏👏

Derek, I believe you're the first person who has ever said anything flattering about my use of the English language. My old English teacher would be surprised, my wife would probably laugh (so I'm not going to tell her) and I'm feeling all shy and embarrassed

Just keep in mind,
I'm Irish.
My standards may well be lower

K3 + Sigma 105mm macro. Took the macro on a dog walk simply because it was on the camera at the time. Didn't expect to use it for close-ups, but couldn't resist an attempt at this one.
Thoughts, comments invited as usual.
