Pottering Round the Garden ...

... with the Canon 70D plus 17-85mm macro lens in hand to see what was about on a (relatively) warm, sunny afternoon.

Peeling bark on the old leylandii stump

A pair of amorous ladybirds who throught they were hidden from prying eyes

Lots of tiny pollen beetles, especially on the tĂȘte-a-tete.

It was lovely to get out in the fresh air without having to wrap up like an Inuit.
As so often happens the thing I went out to photograph eluded me.
I had spotted a Bee-fly hovering several times but it was camera shy.

  1. Good to see life carrying on. Those Ladybirds need a talking to. Haven't they heard of the 2m rule?

  2. Lovely to see your photographs. Not seen a Bee Fly here yet - hope you managed to get a photo.

  3. Your insect life is much more plentiful down there than it is up here at 600 feet asl Jon.
