Hanging Around

I had a vague idea of getting up at silly-o-clock to head to a local bluebells woodland for a dawn shoot ... well that didn't happen! In my [weak] defense it was cloudy and damp. 

So instead I went on an insect safari around the garden in search of a subject for H0tamer's Tiny Tuesday Challenge. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but my garden seemed rather bereft of creepy-crawlies.  There were a few bees buzzing around on the forget-me-nots and apple blossom (they also seem to have a nest in the ivy under one of the hedges, but I wasn't getting too close to that to confirm!).

Finally, a tiny hoverfly came to my rescue by landing on a dandelion to bask in the sun which had now decided to show. He hung around to allow me to take plenty of shots. This was one of the best.
