Back home after our campervan trip to Wales and a day in the New Forest. Looking in a wet area for some small creatures.
Water Skimmer.
Raft Spiders.
This one is hunting on a Milkmaid flower.
Distant Fallow Deer – young bucks.
Minotaur Beetle – Typhaeus Typhoeus {size of my thump nail}.
I have to get down low for these creatures.
Continued Reflections from my World. 
you are dedicated Andy!

You are a little too close to that raft spider for me. 🙂 Your grass looks as saturated as ours is. Trails are soggy and flooded, even on the cement paths.

We had a few really sunny dry days in Wales and it looked like summer was here then once home the rain started again the forest is very damp.

Yes, it is too damp and rainy – it’s been an awful Spring and high winds every day. Because of the rain, the grass is longer in the parks and because the Winter was mild, we have an overabundance of ticks this year. All in all, we may love nature, but Mother Nature does not always love us.
