Macro #photography is an area I haven't actively explored - never really had the right camera lens. Although I've had a couple of interesting photos that probably qualify for #MacroMonday - here's one of them!

A spider sits inside the leaves of a plant. It sits on its web that has bits of discarded prey.

A cyanotype of my #photo of #Rochester Bridge. I used acetate to print a black and white and them exposed to the sun for 5 minutes.

It was great to hear this blackbird singing away in the sunshine. Even better to hear a second bird returning its calls.

The old Londpn City Hall on the South Bank of the Thames. The area looks really nice with the lush green trees during the #spring and #summer months.

A lush green tree partially obscures a modern building that is shaped like a leaning egg against a blue sky.

I know not everyone likes modern buildings, but there is something about them when photographed cropped in close against the sky that just works.

Architecture and gardens at the RHS Hyde Hall Gardens in #Essex - a stunning garden landscape that you can easily spend the whole day enjoying.

Yellow and green plants surround rocks in a rock garden in the foreground. While in the background two large buildings with triangular roofs and glass fronts stand out from the blue sky with wispy clouds.

This week's #BlueSkyArtShow submission for #Lines is this geometric series of straight lines in black and white.

Cranes along the River Thames harking back to a time when the river was the lifeblood of trade and industry coming in from across the world.

Great use of the perspective angles of the two walls in this photo. Keeps my eye centred to view the entire photo as one as opposed to dashing around all over.

There's been countless photos looking down stairs, but this one seems to be set apart from the rest. The angles work really well, and the bars on the right framing the image also give a finite end. There's something in the perspective as well. All in all a really cool photo!

Looks like a scene out of a horror film, or perhaps The Matrix

Headstone Viaduct in the #PeakDistrict. Now part of the Monsal Trail walk, it was formerly a #Victorian viaduct for the Midland Railway to span the River Wye.

A photograph of an imposing London #building. Some of my favourite subjects are buildings. I enjoy modern and old, but modern blocky #geometry definitely lends itself to photography.

A modern building with few windows and a lot of grey cladding rises up towards the sky in this photo taken at ground level looking up the building in London.

Slightly different 'spin' on the #Architecture #Photography during May. I didn't say it couldn't be animal/insect 'buildings'. These caterpillars spun a very intricate silk web, but I liked this singular supporting strand.

Caterpillars climb down a single strand of web. In the background more web is visible
