"The elliptical lotus pool of Tadao Ando's Honpukuji Temple (Temple of Water) was built in 1991. The upper level is open-air and roofless, while the circular vermilion sanctuary with its Buddha statue lies underneath the pool, accessible by a staircase that bisects the lotus ellipse.'

"I took this photograph of a Greek rock lizard during a trip. I enjoy capturing wildlife and the personalities of our creatures.' Photograph: Lucy Wilson I love my macro lens and decided to take it to a friend's house and see if their young children would enjoy seeing the world closeup. We had a fabulous time finding things to photograph, including this ladybug that they had placed on a clover to get a closer look.' Photograph: Lucy Green"
Images show a frog in a garden pond at Lytham St Annes, a spotted transport scene on the Bollin Valley Way near Manchester airport, and Tadao Ando's elliptical lotus pool at Honpukuji Temple with a sunken circular vermilion sanctuary accessed by a staircase. Photographs capture a squacco heron spearing fish between Namibia and Botswana, painted timber houses in Telthusbakken, a great blue heron returning to its nest, and a machair carpeted in bird's-foot trefoil with views to the Twelve Pins. Further images include a Greek rock lizard, a macro ladybug on clover, a village flower and produce show, a white rhino calf, a summer garden party, and riverbank workers pausing for prayer.
