    Duncan, my eldest son, came down after finishing work today and we went out for a hour to our local woodland. Here are some of the photographs I took on our stroll.

    Can you count the bees in this one?

    I think we'd be quite suprised to find out how many little creatures there are around us at any given point in time. Walking in the woods would be no exception. Love the snail photo.

    I agree with Frank, most people would be surprised at the amount of little creatures around us. But its so nice to take the time to notice them and share them with others. Great photos...My favorite is the snail. Very nice composition and color.
