June's full moon gets its name from the Native Americans who used it as a guide to the start of the berry season. It's the full moon just before the summer solstice, and the final full moon of spring. Here in the UK it rose just above the sea before dissapearing behind a cloud.

A second part for May, and I've decided to dedicate this one to UK hopefuls.

So the first here is @ashena with Slothena shot by @gemmaedwardsuk Ashena has gone for a lovely bright, girl next door feel with this set. Beautifully shot by Gemma, she wears a fantastic onesie, and love the sloth theme throughout. Check this set out, and help her turn pink!

It's not that I don't accept how...

Practice manual focus on teeny tiny subjects with a 70-200 lens, whilst enjoying the sunshine.

These little dudes are very hard to capture accurate focus on.

But I did it. Chuffed.

Also, heavily cropped images otherwise a small dot in the middle of the frame.

Well not right at this moment in the UK, after all it's not only daytime, but it's also pouring with rain as I write this. But over the last few weeks, something that has really struck me is the night sky.

Light pollution is always a problem in city life, but I'm absolutely sure that it has been much clearer lately, and I'm seeing a...

Thank you so much to the lovely @brightmeadow22 for the nomination for a questionnaire during quarantine.

Here are the questions and answers:

1. What food do you crave most often?

Peanut butter

2.Can you swim?

Yes I can, but despite living by the sea, I haven't for many years, so if I do get in the pool again, I'll probably sink!

3. Can you whistle?...
