Ball of fluff.

Plan today was to try and gt a shot of the textures at the bottom of a thistle - without the hoverflies this time. However, it seems as though there are an awful lot of them about. I think I could have pointed the camera in almost any direction and still managed to include one somewhere in the frame.

However, I decided to carry on with the plan and blip something different today. The thistles were cool, but when this little ball of fluff ventured on the scene, although it was another insect shot, I thought I'd blip him as he was really cute. It was a close call though - I caught this boy sheltering himself from the rain!

PS something weird is happening to all my images - my blips for the last two days have disappeared although the text is still there and flickr seems to have lost the images too. Add to that the fact that I can't access anybody's comments here and it might be a quiet night in front of the tele. No idea what's going on, although there was a firefox update today. So, apologies if I don't reply, I'll be back as soon as I sort whatever it is out.
