Hoverfly on water lily.

Thankfully I seem to have bucked up slightly today. Got out into the garden and spent an hour weeding. then went to the palace in the afternoon hoping for butterflies. There were only a couple of courting whites who didn't hold still so I opted for the water lilies instead..The garden was busy as there were two coaches outside the palace gates so I didn't linger. I'm so glad I live on the wrong side of the tracks and escape tourists peering in my windows.
