Here's a locust I photographed in Tenerife last year. (At least I think that's what it is - you don't see things like this in the UK!). It obligingly sat on the roof of the car long enough for me to take this photo.
Liz, I am always amazed at the photos you get...interested angles and subjects...between your blog and southeast main's, I try to challenge my eyes to look at my environment a little more closer and detailed.
Thanks, Karoda and Elle. I started trying to take 'arty' photos first when I went to university in St Andrews in Scotland and everywhere seemed to be much more picturesque than my home town of Stoke-on-Trent (although nowadays I've learnt that anywhere can be). I remember particularly these gorgeous bare trees against a sunset. And taking a photo of the beach at midnight using available light and keeping the shutter open for about 5 minutes - it surprised me when the photo came back as bright as daylight but with a moonlight sheen over everything.
I love June's blog too - that's where I got the idea of putting 'inspirational' photos up.
Hello! I'm a textile artist based in the UK. My main blog is at http://www.lizplummer.com/blog but I set up a new one to encourage me to take at least one photo each day.

That's a cool photo.
