Beefly

I got up this morning with the sole intent of sitting it out and capturing an image of  the beefly, knowing the sun would shine and nectar would be in plentiful supply.
Things one has dreams about, rarely come to fruition, i have found. Today was set to be such an occasion as i waited. and waited. and waited, and waited.
And like a bus they all came at once. Beeflys all over the Aubretia, the Primrose, the hyacinths
A spectacle (maybe a bit over the top) but for me, rarely leaving the back garden, an event i am pleased to have witnessed.
