365 Days In Nature - May 2014

I began taking a nature photo on the 1st of January 2013.

My goal was to take one every day for the whole year.
I achieved that, now I'm back for another year.

I started a Facebook group to share our nature photos.

It has grown to more than 200 members from all around the world.

And it's the best group on Facebook.

No, I'm not at all biased!

If you want to join us, you can find us here... 365 Days In Nature

Day 121 - 1st May - Baby Animals - Here's looking at you, kid!

Day 122 - 2nd May - Baby Animals - Bye bye baby animals...it's been an adorable week!

Day 123 - 3rd May - Butterflies - My favourite butterfly is the Blue Triangle Butterfly (I think that's what it is called) but they are so hard to snap because they don't stay still for very long!

Day 124- 4th May - Butterflies - The butterfly isn't very colourful but the roses are pretty! I could have used this one next week as well.

Day 125 - 5th May - Butterflies - A pretty one I snapped at our block of land but I've forgotten what it is called.

Day 126 - 6th May - Butterflies - Close up of a Common Eggfly Butterfly.

Day 127 - 7th May - Butterflies - I've always thought these were Monarch Butterflies, but apparently they're also called Wanderers. This group (what's the collective noun for butterflies?) was in the trees at our block of land. There are four, can you see them all?

Day 128 - 8th May - Butterflies - A pretty yellow butterfly. Who knows what this one is called?

Day 129 - 9th May - Butterflies - The final butterfly...my favourite photo. Again, don't know what it is called...

Day 130 - 10th May - Roses - I have so many photo of roses!! My Aunty Rose (yes, that's her name) has the most beautiful rose garden at the farm. On of my favourite things to do is stroll with her while she's telling me their names. I never remember any of them!

Day 131 - 11th May - Roses - I'd be happy if I got pink roses and nothing else for Mother's Day. It didn't happen today...but I did get lovely things made by the kids and we had a beautiful day out at my mother-in-law's new house. So I'll give myself a pink rose and say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of our lovely mums!

Day 132 - 12th May - Roses - This one is such a pretty colour.

Day 133 - 13th May - Roses - Red is not my favourite colour, but there's something about red roses...

Day 134 - 14th May - Roses - Another one from Aunty Rose's garden. I do believe this one is a Double Delight...I remembered one!

Day 135 - 15th May - Roses - This rose in Neighbour Dave's garden is full of old fashioned charm.

Day 136 - 16th May - Roses - My final rose for the theme is one from our own garden. What a delight this week has been!
