I visit Blashford Lakes quite a lot for taking macro images, and July this year was no exception. Rather than post individually, as I am catching up on a backlog of macro photos that I have taken, I have decided to put all of July’s images into one big picture post.
First the extreme macro photo’s taken on my Canon MPE-65mm 1-5x macro lens.
