Oh my word I spent absolutely ages trying to take this image of these beetles. While my kids played nearby, I watched as these two bugs danced round each other. Keen to get a decent shot, I took loads of pictures of them.

These beetles spent ages dancing round each other. I was fascinated and took hundreds of photographs of them.

I’m unsure if they were trying to mate or quite what they were doing but they were very interested in each other. As is so often the way, this was not the photograph I had planned to take!

There’s a particular spot in a field near where we live that attracts a lot of butterflies. I had intended to snap some of them but came across these two.

The shiny colours on their back really stood out. The detail on the grass also appealed to me and I just had to try and get a picture of them.

I do enjoy nature photography but you sometimes need a lot of patience. Then again, you could say that about almost any style of photography!

    1. Like helicopters you say Darren? I didn’t hear them take off but I shall listen out for it if I spot them again.

    1. Insects can make for great photographic subjects can’t they Susan? They just have to stay still for long enough!

    1. Ah, the grass. I don’t know what it was, but it was a bit like a bulrush. The ground was absolutely covered in a cotton-like substance that had been released by the plant.

    1. When I am on a photography mission, I tend to stay with my subject Sarah! I get well and truly “in the zone!”
