I picked up another of those dodgy digital cameras, the type that back in the day cost upwards of 400€ but nowadays you can pick up for chump change. This time it’s the Pentax X70. It’s what they used to call a ‘bridge’ camera – it looks like an SLR but the lens is fixedContinue reading “My New Favourite Digicam: The Pentax X70 Bridge Camera, 15 May 2023”

Roadside flowers #MacroMonday, 03 April 2023
It’s a lovely day, so I went for a walk and enjoyed the sun. Looks like the spring flowers, and those who feed on them, were thinking the same. http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2023/04/roadside-flowers-macromonday-03-april.html
Roadside flowers #CloseUp, 17 February 2023
I learned later that these unusual looking seed pods are from a wild clematis. They were spotted alongside the road in a piece of scrubby wasteland near Luton Airport.
It’s #flyday Friday, 13 January 2023
For the first #FlyDay Friday of the year here’s a fly that we spotted sunning itself. Hope everyone has a great day. #fliesarebeautiful
It’s #flyday Friday, 23 December 2022
It was #FlyDay last Friday, and although I meant to post then there wasn’t quite the time. This particular fly was buzzing around the kitchen and I used the Sony Mavica MVC-FD51 for these super low resolution images. #fliesarebeautiful
Low resolution #CloseUp, 23 December 2022
Took the Sony Mavica MVC-FD51 out on the patio and tried some close-ups in ‘macro’ mode for the #ShittyCamaraChallenge #1990sCameraChallenge
#MacroMonday, 28 November 2022
I’ve never done a #MacroMonday before, but as it’s Monday and I can’t resist little diamonds on the cabbage leaves, I thought why not?

I have no idea what this plant is called but it has some unusual looking flowers.
#Flyday Friday, 18 November 2022
It’s #FlyDay Friday again, and this time flies are sunning themselves after the overnight rain. Hope everyone has a great day. #fliesarebeautiful
Water droplets on leaves, 14 November 2022
After a rainy night, the water droplets on the leaves are like little diamonds.
A selection of roadside flowers, 14 November 2022
When I’m out for a walk I have my phone to hand and always take a photograph of at least one flower (seasons permitting) to send to my better half. Of course, I always get carried away.
Roadside flowers #CloseUp, 12 November 2022
Out for a walk with the Sony Mavica and the disk is full. Fortunately, I have my phone to hand for these lovely flowers from the side of the road.

By the road in Águas Boas, 30 October 2022
When I’m out for a walk, it’s customary for me to bring back a flower for my better half. Not an actual flower, of course, but a photograph of an interesting bloom. There were lots of flowers by the roadside, but these were mostly dandelions and are so common. But then, along a wall, wasContinue reading “By the road in Águas Boas, 30 October 2022”

It’s a bugs life, 09 August 2022
It’s not a real holiday if I don’t spend at least a part of it chasing a bug across the sand … http://keithdevereux.blogspot.com/2022/08/its-bugs-life-09-august-2022.html
Hidden from the world, 07 August 2022
Tucked away half way up the cliff we traverse to get to the beach, and camouflaged against potential threats and also it’s prey, is this magnificent beast. I have no idea what species it is, but isn’t it wonderful? Every day for the past week and a half, at least, I’ve been trying to getContinue reading “Hidden from the world, 07 August 2022”
