Hoverfly, Epistrophe grossulariae

188-365v4 Hoverfly v2

It’s only a couple of days since I posted my last picture of a (2) hoverfly. I think this is a shot that is different enough to be worth inclusion. I didn’t have to travel far for this specimen, just the back garden where it was sunning itself on a

178-365v4 Housefly

Just your common or garden housefly…in the garden…at least, I think it’s a housefly, I’m no expert. We’ve had a big clear out of the garden and are waiting for a lot of the new plants to flower for the first time so we haven’t had the usual vloume of

169-365v4 It’s Poured All Day

I was up and about reasonably early today and was feeling rather smug as I got around three quarters of the way around my walk with only light drizzle for company – the forescast had been for substantially more…which dropped on my last quarter of the walk meaning I got

097-365v4 Frosty Edges

A chilly start to the day today and a pretty wide spread frost. It’s been pretty cold down here this week, unseasonably cold and it’s not going to be much warmer over the next few days either. Still, it did give me a different photograph for the 365 today so

005-365v4 Maple Magic

120/365v3 – Frosty Leaves

We had the coldest morning of winter so far today and a heavy frost. The budlea is definitely regretting sprouting leaves early this year…the clematis had not faired much better, but at least it was expecting this sort of weather.

005/365v3 Autumnal Leaves

I was pleased with this shot I took of these fading ivy leaves I spotted on my way to the Post Office this afternoon, the perfect simple composition that fulfilled the 365 brief nicely, just a shame I had a leaf yesterday as well…still, I do feel this is different

004/365v3 – Lines and Curves

Nature always has a way of providing what you are looking for, even if that is something as familiar as curves and lines. The back of this leaf caught my eye today.

174/365v2 Paddling

Popped out between showers this evening to catch some of the bugs that were flitting around. This fly was having a paddle on a leaf.
