I enjoyed a browse through my photos taken in 2022 to find my favourites for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge, and while there were not as many as there have been in previous years, there were still lots that reminded me of happy and exciting moments.
Can’t have a review of the year without one of my favourite spring flowers – the Cuckooflower
And the Wood Anemones that I look forward to each year
And my Snake’s Head Fritillary in my garden that keeps coming back each year with more flowers!
And what about the Common Lizards I saw at Cors Caron last year?
Including this particularly green lizard
Also at Cors Caron, this lovely Beautiful Demoiselle
And I can’t look back at 2022 without including our 2 new fur babies we got in May after sadly losing Bob right at the start of the year. This one is Tids (or Tiddlywink)
This one is Tabs (or Tabatha)
Sometimes the wildlife came to me, like this gorgeous Golden-Ringed Dragonfly who dropped into my garden
Also in the garden the Yellow Loosestrife put on a beautiful spread of bright cheerful yellow
There were some firsts this year, like this Marsh Helleborine
And my first ever Cricket!
And this pretty little Antler Moth
Got to include some photos of the amazing birds of prey at the British Birds of Prey Centre too – this one is a Red Kite
And this splendid European Eagle Owl
And finally the piercing stare of the Golden Eagle!
Nice work on the macro images! Our grandson has a cat that he loves dearly. His name is Cinnamon so you can guess his color.

Terrific images all, hard to choose between the insects and the flowers so I’ll have to side with the kittens!
