What to find in a meadow

I went on a trip this morning to Swettenham Meadows - part of the Cheshire Wildlife Trust. I headed out intending to get some nice macro shots of the flowers or maybe a nice landscape shot - more of a reccy than anything though really, as i'd never been before.

When i got there, i soon realised the potential for this place was pretty big as far as beautiful nature shots go. There is potential for landscape, flower, macro, and insect photography. Today though, i was hooked on trying to photograph insects, namely butterflies and bumblebees.
The bumblebees were a bit more friendly and less sporadic than the butterflies. The butterflies didnt seem to want to stay still for too long.
I'm looking forward to going back to discover the dragonflies!
