Rhodo macro

We were in Holland today and the garden there is full of shrubs and trees in flower. I couldn't resist going into the garden and take macro shots of some of the flowers and the insects coming to them before it started to rain. The extra is a very furry blond fly, I had never seen anything like it, but it is most probably a Yellow Dung Fly (Scathophaga stercoraria) which is apparently one of the most common flies in Europe :-)

Thanks very much for your comments and stars on yesterday's weird red peppers :-)
