I really enjoyed using the plastic Holga lens on my Nikon camera. The weather on Herm was pretty dull  when we first got there, but brightened up later. I concentrated on taking pictures of plants and seaweed and also took a few beach scenes. As there are a number of these pictures I will make a few posts of them. We will start with plant life. I like the sense of uncertainty that the Holga brings to an image.

Things not being so great insect wise at Paxton Pits I decided to turn my attention to the plants. We were in a meadow looking for the elusive wasp spider which we had been told had taken up residency there, but was hiding from us. As it was September the grasses were looking autumnal and everything was going to seed. I start with an overview of the meadow and then come the plants, finishing with a picture of one of the ponds I took on the way out, attracted by its vibrance. The macro pictures have been taken using a shallow depth of field to get that lovely creamy look.
