CLOUDED YELLOW BUTTERFLY - COLIAS CROCEA

Look very carefully at the first two, lol.

I could not resist going out and I had figured that the MET OFFICE here in the UK will get the weather wrong for the eleventy millionth time and I am glad I did ignore there USELESS app?! We were supposed to have clear blue skies Monday and Tuesday which they changed both the predictions of on the mornings in question.

TODAY was supposed to be CLOUDY all day!! These following pictures were the only clouds I saw!!

LMAO!!

Oh an videos to come too.

A little North of the White Water Rapids Centre in Lea Valley Park. Oddly an area I should be keeping an eye on as I have covered it previously as they had dug it all up, put soil down and plated many strange plants many non natives too, lol.

FLIGHT OF THE BANDED DEMOISELLE




Now what follows is a first attempt, albeit a bad one admittedly lol,  of the things I LIKE TO DO when I have something close to a fully operational and MANUAL camera.

I WILL do better but will probably have to wait until next year now and I need to get more used to the camera and its settings. I am used to Nikon's settings which I have now DUMPED as a brand because they are not what they used to be.

Even the Nikon D800 SLR, I wanted the E version, I have read many people complaining about on Amazon the most common is focusing issues. Colours not that accurate is another and this is a £2,000 camera for the BODY ONLY?! LOL.
