I have had such a fun day today with my mum! I didn't get chance to spend the day with her yesterday on Mother's day because my son had special plans for me. So I headed over to her house today.
We decided to go for a walk and I took my camera with me, armed with my trusty macro lens because Deranged Visions is currently holding a macro photography competition and I love macro photography so was really looking forward to taking part with some new material.
(You can find the contest here if you would like to enter: https://whaleshares.io/@derangedvisions/deranged-photography-contest-seeing-in-miniature)
We had such a laugh. My mum had me lying in the meadow searching for bugs and chasing rabbits and butterflies, it was hilarious!
Here is the image that I will be using for the competition. You can click the images for the full screen version if you wish!
And here are some more I took during our little adventure:
And finally, here is a picture of my beautiful Mother on the day. I love you Mum! <3 I hope you had a lovely day. Thank you for being the best mum in the world xx
All Images are my own, taken with my Nikon D5300 using my Tamron 90mm macro lens
Thank you guys for stopping by! Much love, BB xx

ahhh so cute!! I love the colours and the vibrancy - the little buggers really stand out nicely against all the backgrounds. I want a macro lens so badly.... someday!

lol yes the red really pops against the green. They are so fast though! I wasn't prepared for that haha
I have to say my macro lens is my favourite lens. I pretty much use it for everything except landscapes. You won't regret it if you get one! :D

Great shots of the ladybird! You managed to find a nice one with such a great red colour! Have you seen the black ones?

Thanks Bengy! :D Did you notice the heart shape on his back too? I thought that was awesome! you can see it in the last photo of the ladybird.
I haven't seen the black ones, are they poisonous! :o

Very nice macro shots. Macro is one of my favorite forms of photography. There is something about the delicacy and technicality of getting it just right that makes it so special.

Wow these are really good macro shots. I'm still trying to improve my macro photography. Right now I only have a macro extension tube to work with. Would be nice if I could get a dedicated macro lens. Your mom has a smile like sunshine.

Pretty bugs and pretty mum! It's been a very long time since I last saw a ladybird...not to mention with all the grasses and flowers around it looks too fantasy to me, lol. Nice shots <3
