Female Ruddy Darter - Sympetrum sanguineum

Spent an hour in the garden this afternoon after shopping in Cambridge this morning (I bought a new hand sander :)

Out in the garden with my trusty macro lens this little beauty behaved very well and certainly posed for me. Sue is still in the garden trying to catch a Damselfly with little success.

I was quite pleased with these shots. 

It is a Female Ruddy Darter Dragonfly - Sympetrum sanguineum

Cambridge Botanic Garden - Bamboo Graffiti

Sue and I popped back to the Botanic Garden this week. As we walked around we found these beautiful bamboos. On closer inspection we found that many of then had Graffiti cut into them. The oldest I couold find was 2014.

I love graffiti where it is organised and allowed. I was not sure if I approved of this. BUT I was really drawn by the beauty of the characters and the story they told. I actually took 33 pictures, here are just 19.
