About this Journal
This public journal is for my nature photographs, mainly odonata, diptera, lepidoptera, and plants.

All photographs in this LJ since May 2006 have been taken using a Panasonic FZ30 camera, with a Raynox DCR-250 used in most of the macro shots.

Occasionally I'll add a page of links to various subjects that interest me. These can be found by clicking on the 'subject links' below.

Most of the images in this journal are released for non-commercial purposes under a Creative Commons licence. You can read the full details here:

also some of the photographs are available as prints at imagekind.
