On this week’s Silent Sunday entry, my friend commented and said “You guys are very Attenborough on a Sunday, love it!” and I realised that I really do love taking photos of nature, creatures weird and wonderful and generally anything that makes a good macro shot!
I decided that, in honour of the school holidays and the good weather we’re having, that I’d do a little linky where you can get ‘Closer to Nature’ and post your best nature photos. There are no rules other than that it must be a photo of something nature related, but it can be just a photo or have a story with it. I’ve made a little badge too, that you can add to your post, which is in the sidebar and will link back here to everyone’s posts.
Have fun, I can’t wait to see your photos! If enough people link up, I may do it again throughout the holidays.
Here’s mine – Husband took it using my Canon Ixus compact camera with the macro on:

I’ve got one I posted a couple of weeks ago on my blog – would that count if I added the linky? It’s a bee on a poppy
Absolutely, the more the merrier, I just want to see some lovely nature shots
All done
Hi, I think this is a great idea as I love looking and taking nature shots too. I have a photo blog if you fancy a browse, http://www.katsighsview.blogspot.co.uk/
Will thank Pippa from Story of Mum! x
Glad I found your blog
Ooh, another nature link-up how exciting! I have loads of nature pics on both my blogs so I would definitely link up on a regular basis – I’ve linked up with our school trip pictures, lots of nature!
I’m really chuffed with my photo
I’ve shared the linky about
My boys love getting out and about so i have linked up with this weeks walk in the woods. My eldest picked up a slug recently – doesn’t look as cute as a snail!
Really glad I stumbled across your photo linky this morning, hope you like what I’ve put up
Lovely idea. Your slimy creature shot is super, I have linked up too.
Thanks for hosting x.
Love this idea and have added my picture with a little story from Baba as well!
Great idea, more than happy to join in (go on make it regular!)… Love the close-up of the snail/slug!! I am not sure I personally would call my blog a photo blog, but I know a few people might!

I posted one of water, Is that nature related?
Absolutely, go ahead and link up!
Hi, have just linked up, the shot was a perfect macro image taken on my slr but when I view it on my blog it looks blurry, not sure if it will be that way for you, hope not.
