Pebbles
|
|
|
|
The pebbles are from Budleigh Salterton beach in Devon. Photographed indoors in natural light using some white card as a background.
Thank you to everyone who has visited my photo-stream over the past few weeks, especially if you have left a comment and/or a yellow star! Always appreciated and makes sharing worthwhile.
Hornet Mimic Hoverfly (Volucella zonaria) (+PiP)
|
|
|
|
Adults of the Hornet Mimic Hoverfly can reach 2 cm in length, and it is the largest hoverfly species in the UK.
The Hoverfly mimics the Hornet both in size and in appearance, and even makes a similar buzzing noise while flying, but it is absolutely harmless to humans.
Taken in my garden yesterday on one of my Buddleia bushes. Both images are cropped as I was using my 40-150mm zoom lens, so I wouldn't frighten it off.

Taken indoors in natural light. I used a sheet of brown card as a background and added a texture and vignette in processing. I'm not overly happy with the reflections on the bottle, but I don't think they detract from the photo too much.
Probably best viewed large..........
