Wow, Carol you are so sweet. Unfortunately I had to work today. It happens every once in a while :) I'm off tomorrow so I can play & find new victims to shoot. Ha ha ha.

Came back to say HI to you and your fantastic hoverfly. Hope you are having a great day finding new subject matter and can't wait to see your next photo.

Thanks Alice!

Lovely!

Thank you both!

Really nice photos... The teeny leaves make the hoverfly look kind of monumental. :)
