Swans are very inquisitive and gentle creatures.  More often than not, when they see you, they’ll not hesitate in motoring up to see just exactly what you may have to offer.  In this case, this swan was very intent on coming over to check out if the camera I was holding was edible, to the point where he stood no more than 30cm from me sniffing around to see if I had anything of interest, before ripping out some grass from the ground.  Such a delight to be around.

The macro world is truly a beautiful place to reside.  These flowers, approximately 10mm across, have such wonderful detail and texture.  And, on this day, they were hiding a little spider who will appear on this site at a later date.

Sometimes it’s nice to stop, smell, and spy on the flowers.

Kudos to guest photographer Brett Ross for absconding with my camera and coming up with a couple of decent images! 🙂
