July 2019 at the educational farm owned by friends Eric and Nanie Cottineau at Châteauneuf-la-Forêt in Limousin with a group of 7 friends.  On offer : multiple acres of meadow, the animal enclosures and the banks of a river - all teeming with insects and wild flowers.  Equipped with a 200mm lens for the timid creatures and a 100mm macro for the true macro shots, I passed a gorgeous day grovelling in the grass under a friendly sun - not too hot.

An outing with friends from PhotoLim87 to the valley of the apes near Poitiers.  The weather forecast was terrible leading up to the date and the day itself started with torrential rain about the time we needed to leave.  However, always optimistic, we set off nayway and, in the end, the day was really pleasant apart from a thundertorm at around 4pm.  We were even able to eat outside at lunchtime.
