Because a photo can say more than a 1000 words, I hereby present you my 2015 in photos:

 

January

At least we had some winter and some beautiful mornings in magical misty mood.

Fortunately the fox cubs were prepared to wait and gave me the chance to witness and capture lots of interesting young fox behaviour…

At the beginning of the summer I had a nice refreshing time with the banded damselflies, as written in my River Pleasure.

At the end of the summer I was lucky to found some very amusing moths; a hummingbird moth and a Broad-bordered bee hawk-moth and I just couldn’t get enough of them!

September

In September the fox kits had grown big, which gave me the opportunity to focus on something else: very active tree frogs!

A few nice misty mornings kept me busy as well.

October

The beginning of autumn was the time to enjouy the fallow deer rutting season. This time I didn’t focus on the fights, but I chose the serene, peaceful moments instead, resulting in this “ZenDeer”.

November

Autumn can be windy and rainy, or ….perfect like the most beautiful fairytale. And when this happens, you should be there and be in awe…
So I did.

December

The end of the year offered a wonderful surprise…. Short eared owls were flying and hunting during day time. And the best of all was that this happened not so very far from my house. Happy to be able to play a home match…finally!

And for now: I wish you a beautiful, healthy and happy 2016 with wonderful moments and the pictures to prove it! 😉
