Playing around in the garden again with the last of this season's insects (down to 4 degrees last night and the geese are streaming back). Still quite a few hovers around - mainly Eristalis drone flies, like this one.

Looks damned fine to me Malcolm!!

Nicely sharp, and the green and pinks compliment each other perfectly.

I love the soft light and colours as they help the insect stand out. Great stuff.
