June round-up of images

June has been an annoying month, mainly because the weather has not been favourable, but also because my macro lens stopped working.  Just at the wrong time.  Nikon informed me there was condensation inside the lens which had stopped the motor working, no wonder I guess in the monsoon-like conditions we get in our summer.  So the images below have been taken with Kate's 105 macro, a borrowed 60mm macro and my 300mm f/2.8.

They are a bit of a mixed bag, something for eveyone I guess:

Spotted Orchid


Pyramidal Orchid in Somerset

Spurge

Marsh Cinqfoil at Goss Moor

Fly in macro on a twisted blade of grass (one of my favourites this Spring).

Frog at Windmill Farm, Lizard

Small Skipper in Kent

Marbled White in Somerset


Common Blue


Silver-studded Blue in Cornwall

Silver-studded Blues at dusk, just prior to roost, all females.
