Another hoverfly this time visiting a self-seeded parsley plant which I think looks lovely when in flower. I hope to collect some of the seeds and scatter them in the herb garden where hopefully they will emerge next spring.
Earth laughs in flowers 
Beautiful and crisp shot !
Thank you 🙂
These are fantastic close-ups, Jude. I love the parsley flower as the backdrop. And, I’ve learned about a hoverfly.
This is a great photo – you are very skillful with your macro lens. The colours in the picture are lovely too.
that’s very nice of you Elaine. I like using this lens, but still practising
Never thought much of dill but it found its perfect place in your picture and served its purpose – attracted the hoverfly. Now everyone is happy!
Isn’t it a miracle how such delicate wings can fly?
Magic! How was Barca and the hotel? My daughter has booked the same one so please email me all the tips you have for getting around 🙂
Will do and if you email me your address I’ve kept some maps etc that might be useful 🙂
Okey dokey, will do 🙂
Hurrah for hover flies: a pretty portrait perched on parsley.
By the way, in Texas we have a native parsley but it’s not edible, or at least not palatable—I tasted a bit once.

HeyJude remember me “the Beatles!”

Many thanks Antonio 🙂
The hoverfly looks like its dancing, when its in the flowers. Youve done a great job with these photos.
