Artist's Description
An extreme close-up of a Common Darter, or Darner, Dragonfly perched on a young bracken frond.

This one is for Rosy Hall!
About Andy Astbury
I am a full-time Natural History and Wildlife photographer from Cheshire, in the North West UK. As well as taking photographs I teach photography at all levels and also specialise in digital workflow tuition and colour management. My passion is really for landscapes and seascapes together with macro photography and my beloved Norwegian Sea Eagles.

The pictures of insects always creep me but then when i look at them for real they have astounding beauty that one would never see otherwise. When i was a small child i climbed our back yard fence and when i got to the top there was a glowing bug there. I was thrilled at this as i had no idea there were things in my back yard like this. I still at 63 get a smile when i think of this.
