Summer Insects | Photography

It's Summer Bank Holiday today!

I had lovely long bank holiday weekend, as I have spend whole weekend and today some illustrations that I'm catching up. I have missed illustrating very, very much as I'm working on the weekday and most of the weekend I have been busy, as well as felt drained from work that I needed some relaxation.

Since the Summer is nearly end and haven't been blogged this month yet. So I thought the topic of this blog is photography. 

 This photography is all about the insects that I took many photos of from this summer and the past.

 Here are the collections of each year in Summer.

Summer 2017 
28th August : I helped this poor Large White butterfly today, he was in the middle of my garden, struggling to fly, I gave him some water from my fingers and placed him on the flowers from large flower pot if he need some nectaries as well as to rest.


9th July : Honey bee collected some pollen from the lavender. 
22nd May : I saw this poor Honey bee got caught on the spider web, along came with the spider. I rescued him from the spider and placed him on Buddleja bush, as he was a bit woozy, he drank the nectar and started to collect the pollen from it.
Summer 2016 
12th August : Peacock butterfly rested on the wall with some shades.



9th June : Honey bee searched some pollen in Cyprus.


Summer 2014
8th August : Honey bee searched for pollen in Rye Harbor Nature Reserve.
23rd July : Small Tortoiseshell butterfly on buddleja bush.
Summer 2013
9th August : Peacock butterfly on buddleja bush from Highcliffe beach.
That's all I have in my collection from these years. Even in 2015, I was graduated from the university and that what I spend my summer celebrated my graduation as well as my younger sister who had her GCSE and finished school. Which noticeably mean that I haven't saw insects and photograph it.
Hope you enjoyed your day on Summer Bank holiday today!

The Monarch | Illustration

Image
The Milkweed butterfly, also in another name of the Monarch butterfly, inspired me when I watched BBC's Spy in the Wild Series 2 in February. In episode 2 "The North", in this scene located the mountain in West Mexico, with the Spy Hummingbird capturing the place that's considered the world's most beautiful natural gathering, where the Monarch butterflies hibernated during the winter. It was Spring, the Spy hummingbird flying around millions of butterflies resting on the oyamel fir trees (I just looked it up of what kind of tree because I can't remember what it was, hehe). When the sunshine on them, warmed their delicate wings, then started to fly. And when they fly, it was absolutely spectacular, all orange and flow through the trees. I imagined myself in there, underneath them and watching them as they migrate to North. I felt calm and delight thinking about it, it was awe-inspiring. Being called the Milkweed butterfly is because they feed on ...

Bloom Wildly | Illustration

Image
It's nearly the end of May, the weather for the last week of the month has been sun shining and over 22c of temperature, such lovely weather. So yesterday, I have been painting the dog rose flowers, that just blossomed nearly 2 weeks ago! Right now they're blooming quite wildly in my home garden and the front! This bush even grows over the tree, makes it so enchanting it's like in a magical summer garden. And with the wall, this can hang further that I can go underneath it for some shade. This one is new from the front as it hasn't grown there before, so it's the first time seeing this. And it's already climbing up the birch tree! It looks nice to look at through the window, where I work on some arts, plus good for some inspirations to illustrate! Whilst I was painting, I did another timelapse video on this. Seems I find the time-lapse illustrating very fascinating and satisfying, you can see the process in fast speed, rather than the normal speed that'll t...
