26 July - Hot Hoverfly

I can't believe how hot it is... and sticky too...
heard a thunderstorm in the distance this morning at 5.30am
but no relief from the humidity yet...

Stalked this hoverfly for a while after tea.. have been
chief entertainments manager for the children today - hard
& hot work!

[No storms here, yet, either: they seem glued to Salisbury Plain, but won't venture any nearer.... Help...!]

I would like to think this isn't the global warming we
have been hearing so much about, but I am afraid it is.
Magnificent capture of the hoverfly.
I like the detail and color (UK: colour).

This is a wonderful shot Nicky, I love the rainbow colours you captured in the wings. I hope you get some relief from the heat soon!

Beautiful - I got rain, thunder and lightening in Surrey at 5am - shame it didn't make it as far as Kent!
