Day 140: Reaching for the sky Originally uploaded by phillsacre No idea what this plant is but it seems to be reaching up to the sky… unfortunately it was windy so I couldn’t quite frame the picture as well as I’d have liked, but still. You can’t have everything.

Day 139: Lightning Bolt Leaf Originally uploaded by phillsacre I realised today I haven’t taken any macro shots since I had the new camera. Or at least, I have, but not many, and not properly. I discovered how to do macro shots with my camera the other day (I was using the wrong lens. Shut…

Mammoth update: there are no mammoths now. They are extinct. Check back next millennium for further updates. *ahem* I was tempted to leave the blog post like that, but thought I’d better continue.
