31st July 2015 -Sunbathing

Sorry yet another hoverfly. I couldn't resist this one as he sat still for ages on the stem of a poppy just basking in the sun. He was probably wondering what all this unusual warmth was!! LOL!!

Many thanks for your lovely comments on my Moon shot and for getting it on the PP - so very much appreciated!!

So pleased to see this on the PP this morning! Thanks for getting it there!
