A look at the centre of two of the many Hollyhock flowers in my garden. The one on the bottom is not quite as advanced as the top one. These have been taken using my 40-150mm zoom lens and cropped. Best viewed large!

Also called Love-in-a-mist. Taken in my garden. Please see the PiP for a wider shot.

Sometimes also called a Hedge Brown. This one is a male and the one in the PiP is a female. Taken during a visit to Devon last month,.

Adults of the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly can reach 2 cm in length, and it is the largest hoverfly species in the UK. The Hoverfly mimics the Hornet both in size and in appearance, and even makes a similar buzzing noise while flying, but it is absolutely harmless to humans. Taken in my garden yesterday on one of my Buddleia bushes. Both images are cropped as I was using my 40-150mm zoom lens, so I wouldn't frighten it off.

Bees onn Sea Holly......................big and small :-) Best viewed large, I think,

Taken in my garden. Please view large if you have the time.

Taken in my garden I'm off today today for a short break in Exmouth, Devon. We're house-sitting for my daughter while she takes our grandchildren to Snowdonia. I may continue posting and commenting, but it will depend on what we're doing. Enjoy the week folks!

Taken in my garden. Please check out the PiP to see a Bee on the feverfew, also taken in my garden. Thank you.

On Sea Holly. Taken at Hinton Ampner House and Gardens, a National Trust Property near Winchester, in Hampshire. Another image in the PiP if you have time. Thanks for looking.

This Large White, is the first butterfly I've seen in my garden this year, which is very disappointing so far. Hopefully I'll see more as the summer progresses. It's also known as a Cabbage White and it is the one that gardeners dislike most (together with it's relative the Small White).
