Some are classically beautiful ….

longAll out there and many more, right under our noses.  Each and everyone is part of the ecosystem, doing their jobs to keep things in balance.   Most of us are unaware of their existence and more importantly pollute and destroy their habitats.  We should perhaps take time to look a little closer when we go out into our gardens.  It may give us a new perspective!

At the risk of being irritating, but after all what else is a sister for, I would just like to point out that I am starting a petition for a Under Your Nose blog.  All those in favour say “Aye!”

  1. If it was the settee in the potting shed he probably didn’t even need to get up! Some super pictures, but I bet they weren’t done with the camera in his ‘phone! Is that a Shield Beetle in image No 2?
