..... and so am I as the sun is shining and its WARM at last :lol:

I had at least 3 Bee-flies around the garden today. I certainly didnt expect to see them until another week or so. I felt a bit rusty not having taken any macro since last October. Hope you like them.

Oh thanks very much thats really nice of you. It was so nice to get the macro out after all this time and a disastrous year last year with one thing and another. I have only had one other day out with the camera this year for bird shots last Sunday so great to see the insects coming out again (and the sun lol).

Many thanks - they are gorgeous little flies and quite harmless. I am sure LordV and Racketman will be putting some up soon :lol:
