Welcome to Theme Life Walking around Sandwich and the surrounding countryside as l do daily, weekly and monthly, I take many photographs. Ten to fifteen per cent are held back in folders and will be used in the blog’s gallery features, prompts, or published articles, whilst some are specifically kept back for this series only. My main photography focus is wildlife, flora and fauna but also architecture and quirky captures. Only some of the galleries here will be specifically themed all the time. They might focus on specific events or moments that were chanced upon or hold a fascination for me. I hope you enjoy the series |

I could not get up close to those critters! I’m terrified of bees, spiders, any bugs, really! Xx

No I haven’t, but it’s just the thought of being stung. I think it would hurt a lot and the noise of them when you can’t see them you know, it’s just scary 💟💞

“Woodlouse!!”
No, no, Pill Bug!!
No, no, Roly Poly like dude look at it all rolled up it’s like a little ball – this is a rtoly poly l am telling you!!”
“Be that as it may, let’s go for woodlice.
That’s probaby what happened The Calidornia Surfer dude was looked at with his/her roly poly and laughed at.
That’s what s cience is like.
