A very productive day in the garden, with quite an interesting variety of bugs and spiders. Everything from a wonderful shield bug to a very tiny weevil. The flowers are starting to show the tattered leaves and blossoms of late summer, and the few slow moving bees continue their constant preparation for the slow approach of autumn.

With just enough wind to make shooting tricky, and not very many bugs out and about, this morning's shoot was slightly abbreviated. However, I did manage to watch a very busy orb-weaver enjoy a small breakfast (although the wind was enough to really limit shooting, as the web was waving back and forth quite a bit). I would guess this might be like breakfast aboard a heaving vessel at sea!
