    Title: Let it shine
    Description: On holiday in Wales we were on a walk when my brother spotted this dung beetle on the ferns. I like the shiny blue wing casing of the beetle as it really stands out against the bright green ferns. I also really like the patterns the ferns make in the background. Taken with an iPhone 5s.

    Title: Saving Mr Bee
    Description: Me and Mum have honey to save tired bees - we found one inside and here he is drinking our honey. I love this picture. Taken on a Huawei p9. It's great to help tired bees, but the RSPCA recommends giving them sugar water rather than honey.

    Title: Milou
    Description: I enjoy taking photos on my phone, but on this occasion I had lost it so took my dad's iPad outside. Our cat Milou was lounging in the sun on the patio, and I saw the perfect opportunity for a photo. I took this one just as she yawned and stretched. I particularly like the contrast between her white fur and the dark grey slate, and the way her whiskers really stand out. Taken with an iPad Pro.

    Title: Blue strands
    Description: I took this picture of a cylinder anemone (colour tubed anemone) at the Biarritz Aquarium in France. It looked like something from another planet, like a fruit that could have grown there. I found it interesting to look at as the strands were being moved by the current and it was glowing. Taken with an iPhone SE.

    Title: Buzzy bee
    Description: I took this photo in my garden one day when I noticed a bee buzzing around the lavender. It took me many attempts to capture a clear photo because it was moving pretty quickly - obviously it was a busy bee! Before I discovered macro photography I never truly appreciated the intricacy of small insects like this bee. I was surprised when I looked at the photo and saw the intricate features; its face for example is so prominent and it almost looks as if it's smiling. Taken with an iPhone 6 using a clip-on macro lens.

    Title: Green shield
    Description: I took this photo in my garden one day when I noticed a small green insect. It took me many attempts to capture a clear photo because it was wandering along the fence pretty quickly. But when I managed to snap a photo I was surprised to see all the detail that I didn't notice with my naked eye - the spots for example are not noticeable from a distance but can really be seen in the photo. Taken with an iPhone 6 using a clip-on macro lens.
