Hope everyone had a fabulous sunny June so far! For those in the UK, aren’t the long weeks of warm weather just fantastic! We used it for living outdoor on some long weekends, with gardening, evening parties and outdoor pizza evenings.

Oh yeah, some walks early on the morning as well! Hubby went out daily to catch up on his #1000 mile challenge (he let it lapse and now he is walking 12 to 15k a day! 😳😱🫣) And I do the every-other-day training walk, with some run intervals thrown into the mix! (Inverse Jeffing, maybe called Fejjing?)

So I’m not quite an everyday walker at the moment, and I’m so in awe of everyone who does manage to walk daily!

Well done, you daily walkers! You’re champions !

For our June/July photo challenge I thought we’d do something really plentiful and alive: CRITTERS!

Having spent quite a few mornings and evenings outside in sunny weather, at times lifting pots or getting close to butterflies, I can see spring is the time for all sorts of creepers and crawlers, also flutteres and scurries.

So can you catch some of these in your photos from your walks!

I was amazed by this huge, glossy, black beetle I saw the other day, but I didn’t have my phone camera ready! So I had to take a bit of creative freedom with my photo collage, also including some worm-looking seed pods I encountered on my routes.

(So feel free to post our CRITTERS as a separate post with the hashtag/word #Photowalk in the title of the post. (E.g. ”#Photowalk July: 1000+ legs πŸ¦—πŸ¦ŸπŸ¦—πŸœπŸͺ°πŸπŸžβ€ )

June/July Challenge: take a picture of a CRITTER you encounter on one of your walks!

πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ ohh .. looking forward to those pics!

I love this idea! I’ve always enjoyed taking picture of bugs. It makes a nice change from swallowing them as I run!

Here’s one from a few days ago as an early entry…You might be able to spot a caterpillar suspended in mid air from its silk, and also the shadow of me taking the picture!

I’m glad other people like taking photos of insects, I thought I might be a bit weird. 🐞🐜

I love it! Bees are my favourite. The only danger is when they’re a feeling little camera shy and decide to try and chase you off!

Yes, bees for me too (haven’t had any problems with them as yet) and butterflies and moths. πŸ¦‹

we’ll this challenge will be right up your street/trail/walk then? Brilliant!

Yes, the challenge made me notice actually how many bugs I see on my route that I didn’t generally want in my picture! I’ve been missing out!
