But something ere the end...
27 June 2006 (284)

Leckhampton, Cheltenham, UK

A shot from last week
-- of the rather wonderful Oedemera nobilis beetle --
found on a poppy on Leckhampton Hill.

(Gone down with some sort of virus:
hence the 'archive' shot...!)

Nikon Coolpix 8700
1/300s f/4.8 at 31.9mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Awesome shot! Stunning colors, light and details! Love the texture of the petals! Vote! Sorry you're not feeling well! Hope you feel better quickly!

Amazing textures and sharpness...that poppy(?) looks like crinkled paper.
Hope you feel better soon!!
