SEIZING THE DAY

I had a day out with one of my new cameras, the second one had not arrive just yet but is here now.

Unfortunately my new camera took a tumble and this was not my fault...I stood up from doingg some macro photography because a couple with a pram were coming along a path towards me. I then started to black-out, as I unfortunately so often do, and the next thing I was aware of was lying on the floor on my side and sitting up, wondering where I was.

Turned out I had some sort of major seizure. I could feel convulsions, or violently shaking, as I came around. I bumpeed into the couple later and it turned out I was out for like ten minutes.

I had one of these once before ... a very long time ago and was out for about thirty minutes.

Also quite unfortunately I had been fearing as well as expecting something like this to occur as my black-outs had been getting stronger and I had been falling down on the floor as opposed to leaning and hanging onto a magazine rack while I blacked out in Sainsburys or WH Smiths.

Anyway .. while I was out a got a few things ...

Like Orange Tip Butterflies ...





A very tiny Damselfly like insect which I have no idea what it is ...




A small moth with a single large central white blotch ...


My new CamPark Action Camera which is waterproof and going to ive me a whole new dimension to my videos ... SUB-AQUATIC ;) ...

FIRST BUTTERFLIES OF 2016

Well I have managed to get a head start and ahead of replacing my outdoor camera with a new one, video of that coming up.

Last year was pretty dire for photographs, filming, getting out on my bike much and mostly due to the weather and partly because I was spending a lot of time and money helping someone close to me, see my corruption blog on that one.

So I am short several tools.

Towards the end of last year and around the autumn time my trusty Sony Cybershot DSC-HX300 with its 50x zoom lens took a tumble or five. Off a contraption attached to my belt because something came undone on the bottom of the camera. A small brass nipple if you must know.

At first I was relieved because a few quick tests and the camera was working fine. Unfortunately the next few times I went out where I did long shots or filming, of birds mostly, and I noticed lesser quality in the photos and vibration on filming.

Oops!

Anyway, just prior to purchasing the new camera I did get out with the Sony and did capture a few things.

Holly Blue Butterflies, Brimstone Butterflies, an Orange Tip Butterfly and some Wild Primroses ...

ORANGE TIP BUTTERFLY

Yes!

FINALLY!

Well ... not quite ... not just yet!

But watch this video and around 3.18 into it watch how I am taking about an educated guess that I may see an Orange Tip Butterfly in my secret butterfly path and then get bloody buzzed by one from behind before it flies around my left side waist high and right in front of the damned camera?!

Yeah I just love how nature can take the ... I mean, ahem, surprise you in the most unexpected ways!
