Buddleia fest
Yesterday’s post showed a crab spider thinking he was hiding on a buddleia bloom. At the same time, farther along the same bloom, this bee-fly was feeding away merrily, oblivious of the nearby danger.

Crab spider
This crab spider wouldn’t win too many prizes for camouflage, but he sat patiently waiting all day on this buddleia blossom for an unsuspecting bee/butterfly/moth to come within striking range.

Danger lurking
A bee-fly collecting pollen from a lavender bloom seems to be an innocent enough activity, but the reality is that the danger lurks – the lavender is woven with many spiders’ webs, and the spiders are just waiting …

Tuscan squirrel
One of many of the squirrel that enjoy all the fruit, nuts, pine cones (particularly cypress cones –yum!) and other general fare on offer in our garden. They are pretty noisy about it, too!

Welcome to the revamped dgcPhoto site, complete with a new theme and a new look.
I’ve been rather busy with other things for a while, so I thought a makeover was more than overdue. I hope you like it.
In many ways, the site is the same as before except that with the new theme it’s easier to navigate and more efficient to load. And the layout is far cleaner.
I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.
Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.
What were the ‘other things’?
Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
