I don’t do alot of flower photography but when I saw an image of Northern Marsh Orchids posted by Ronnie Richardson lately,I thought that I had to give it a go.So having got the rough location from Ronnie,off I set with my 300mm and my macro lens.Ollie had to stay in the back of the car,as four hairy paws and delicate plant stems don’t tend to mix too well,while I spent an enjoyable hour or two taking pictures.There were not only N.M. Orchids but also Twayblade,another member of the orchid family.
Here are some of the images.

The buttercups provide a lovely backdrop.
Some of the N.M.Orchids had spotted leaves.
