Fake
On a weekend spent visiting jamie's friends and family in north Wales we managed to squeeze a trip to Chester zoo in. Being hailed as the biggest in the UK my expectations were quite high of what the zoo had to offer. I'm glad to say I was not let down, one day is simply not enough to get around the place and take it all in.
This butterfly simply must have been confused, continually returning to the fake flowers was proberbaly not great for him but it made a great shot for me . I shot this Giant Wood Nymph butterfly with my sigma 75-300mm lens and natural light.
Poppies make me happy
I have giant poppies on my bedroom wall now. I really love them.
