Caterpillars, Butterflies and Ants.

What caught my attention this week was a lovely symbiotic relationship between caterpillars, pupae, butterflies and the ants that protect them. We are lucky enough to have several colonies of these living here.

The Supermoon on January second also had me out too, how could I resist playing with images of the moon and stars especially on summer evenings. (Ok the truth is it was cold, there were so many mosquitoes they would have eaten me alive except I was all rugged up and covered, but I still really love what I do.)

So this is what this whole project is about,  just going out with the camera and  filming week to week things here that I find interesting and bringing them to you. I truly hope you find the wonders of nature as amazing as I do.

Time to start the filming

Well the time has come to start the filming. So tomorrow I will be out with the camera and seeing what I can find. Had a little look today and it was pretty quiet, but then you never know when something will happen or not. So the only way to do this is to do the hours and trust myself that I will find something interesting. (or at least more interesting than me babbling on to camera)

So time to sleep, gear is sitting ready to go. Batteries charged, lenses clear and data cards cleared. Wish me luck.

Hello and Welcome

Hello and welcome to Insights on Nature. Well I thought I should start with video of me saying something so here it is. As you can see even after all my years behind the camera once I get in-front of it I am frankly terrified. But its done and is what it is. Have a laugh by all means, I certainly did and at least you didn’t have to see all the outtakes.
