I’m always amazed at what I can find in my back garden. This is just an ordinary suburban backyard and yet I seem to find something new to photograph on a weekly basis. If you pine for an African Wildlife safari but never have the coin I’d try getting out in the garden and seeing what you can find.

Garden Katydid
A garden katydid (Caedicia simplex) found strangely enough in my garden. Olympus Pen EP-5 with Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens.
Cabbage White Butterfly
A cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) on a lavender flower. Olympus Pen EP-5 with Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens and Olympus FL600-R speed light.
Eastern Common Froglet
Found in one of our raised veggie beds. The Eastern Common Frog (Crinia signifera) is a small ground dwelling frog and is one of Eastern Australia’s most common and widespread species. Olympus OMD EM-10 with Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro lens.
