Hover fly...

Many of you take photos of bees, flies and butterflies, and know how hard it is to catch one that is still long enough to snap a shot. This one I followed up and down the fence row until he lit on these flowers, sat still and "smiled"! (Unfortunately his back is to us so you can't see the smile! :- )
