Here comes the band!

 Hello Woofers,

Daisy here.

It's another Monday and everyone is back at work, except OTL who is trying to give up all this working for a living!

We started off this morning at the normal tine, like six thirty!

When we got to the football field, we found the first of the fairground rides. There is a fair every year and the Sky Fall ride is the most complicated to set up, so it is first on the fair ground.

First arrival.

OTL has been playing with the Macro Lens on the little camera. The big cameras are more flexible but the small camera is much lighter and easy to transport.

It's handy to photograph insects, butterflies and dragonflies, if they will stand still long enough to have their photo taken!

This little fly is a Hover Fly and is known as a Marmalade hoverfly!

Marmalade hoverfly called Paddington!

We found a Brown Argus fluttering around and OTL says it spends all of its life traveling in an area no more than ten to twenty metres square!

Lunchtime we went around the football field looking for dragonflies but they were flying too high to photograph.

OTL spent some of the afternoon doing gardening.

Now, OTL is not the gardening type and he reckons the best garden is three inches of concretecovered with gravel!

So, the next best is a gallon of weed killer sprayed on anything green!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.
