Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you kind sir!

Thanks very much Roséha.

Another superb close up,,,,, Thanks for the Goslings info'... Keith... Cheers from Dj.

Thank you so much David............and you're welcome.

Wow,da ist dir wieder eine grandiose Nahaufnahmen gelungen lieber Keith,da kann man richtig glücklich sein,wenn man so einen Garten hat,da kommen die Insekten gleich zu dir heim,grinsss,aber der schöne Käfer passt auch wunderbar zu diesen Blüten,toll hast du die Blüte mit dem Käfer hervor gehoben :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thanks Güni.........I'm very pleased you like this image. The Feverfew flowers are very popular with the insects, but they are nearly finished flowering.

(But I've still got another couple of photos to post yet)>

mooi bloemtijpijtje Keith

Thanks Fred........glad you like it.

A beautifully composed macro, Keith ! I like the arrangement very much !

Thank you Ulrich...........I'm very pleased you like it. You're very kind.

A terrific shot Keith. So they feed on flowers then! I have some feverfew next to a log pile, which I think can be where they might emerge from. It's a lovely picture of the beetle and flower, and the bokeh backdrop is superb.

I hope you have a good weekend. It's raining here right now!

Thank you very much Rosa.......the feverfew seems to be very popular with the insects at the moment, but they're nearly finished flowering. Glad you like the beetle and the bokeh. Much appreciated.

We've had the threat of rain all day.....but in the end it came to nothing. It's been windy and a bit chilly though. I hope you also have a good weekend.

Wow as everyone has already said - this is a fantastic shot, Keith. The details you've managed to capture are fabulous, and the beetle looks as if it's tired and is rubbing its back.

Thank you kind lady............I'm please you like this one. Such lovely comments.

Bel insecte assorti aux couleurs des fleurs et un arrière-plan très réussi*******

Thank you Jean-louis............much appreciated :-)

A beetle in a camouflage jacket! Well seen and beautifully captured Keith
Excellent colours and fine detail, have a great weekend.

Haha.......it's very well camouflaged isn't it? I might not have noticed it if I hadn't seen it flying in.

Glad you like this one Roger..........and thanks for your kind comments.

Ever day is a school day on here beverley......you learn something every time you look.

Glad you like these......and thanks for commenting.

Super! Das ist die Belohnung für deinen blütenreichen Garten, Keith!

Thanks Wilhelm..........it's always good to see something new in the garden. Glad you like it.

The beetle was perfectly dressed to match its resting place. This is a superb shot!

It was. If I hadn't seen it flying in, I might have missed it altogether! Glad you like the shot!

Beautiful images

Wish you a serene week ahead!

Thank you Annemarie............and the same to you!

Magnifique (et en plus le jaune est ma couleur préférée)
