close to home

like Geoff i thought it was time i visited our local common, an SSI area. Just took the macro lens which was probably wrong choice as ended up trying to cope with a very strong breeze, message to self "treat yourself to a Plamp". anyway here are the results , will be revisiting on a quieter day weatherwise as there is a lovely selection of flora there. Processed in ACR, NIK and resized in PS
1. 6 Spot Burnett Moth



2. Birdsfoot Trefoil



3. A Bright Young Thing



4. Buttercup/Speedwort family (i think)



5. Knapweed Seed Head



6. Marjoram , possibly.



7. No Idea Whatsoever



8. Painterly



9. Spring and Autumn in one go

A lovely set. It looks like you took the right lens, in spite of the wind!

Is No. 4 Common Agrimony link? I'm not convinced that No. 6 is marjoram, but willing to be proved wrong. Do you have a picture of the rest of the plant?

Steve

4 could be, 6 looked like it in my little book and the soil would be right. probably need to find a better book

Excellent set, #1 just pips it for me over the rest

Lovely selection Joe - can't pick a favourite as they flow with quality so well

Great set of images, i really like #9 love the contrasting colours and details. Very nice.

had a look on the net Steve and you were spot on , Agrimony. thanks John and Chris. Thanks Geoff for the comment and the inspiration to get off my ass

A super set - something to like in all of them.

Beautiful set. The trefoil and the oak leaves particularly. Give the 'marjoram' leaf a rub between your fingers. If it is it will smell gorgeous.

Liking no. 5 a lot
