My globe thistles are in full bloom now and attracting lots of insects, especially bees and hoverflies.

Very light winds and it was hovering very still and luck would have it right in front of the concrete washing line post so I didn't have a black bg. :)

Beautiful set George. Lighting on the Syritta Pipiens in particular is sublime.
