While many of us are suffering through this time of the year because of all the pollen, this hover fly is in its glory collecting the pollen from this daisy. Best viewed large to see all the pollen if you will. http://media.365project.org/1/4219204_bdglswxyz3_o.jpg

Thank you for your very kind comments! I was surprised at how well my camera focus was working trying to shoot this. Normally when I put my extension tubes on, even though they are automatic focus, they don't always work well and I end up manually focusing. But today they were working well. Or I am becoming better familiar with them.
Thank you all so much for your wonderful compliments, favs and follow!
Not to far from where I took this is a bunch of Multiflora Rose bushes. The fragrance was heavenly. But one thing I noticed was the lack of honey bees. Those bushes should have been buzzing with the sound of bees, but I didn't see one bee.
tried to get one of these today and every single one was a fail :(
Love the detail and colours ~ wonderful
