Macro Monday
A small selection of photos taken here in Cyprus this November. Now I lied a bit, the image of the Painted Lady was taken in Malta in 2016. I included it because I’ve seen so many recently but haven’t managed to capture any yet. So what, time doesn’t matter anyway.

Dragonflies
I don’t always carry my heavier camera with the macro lens when I walk my dogs but after seeing a lot of dragonflies lately I decide the camera has to come along. Here is a selection of the roughly 300 photos I took the other day. I read that the dragonfly is one of the…

Finding balance
“The key to finding a happy balance in modern life is simplicity.”— Sogyal Rinpoche Although the balance this dragonfly shows doesn’t look that simple. It’s been almost a year now since we left Malta and slowly but surely I’ve begun to find a certain balance in our new home. My dogs have already made themselves…
