Natural Attraction



The little Hover Fly was drawn in by the Livingstone Daisy, he seemed to enjoy the flower even more than I did. For more flowers from around the world visit Today's Flowers.

I am still having internet connection problems. Our service was down Friday evening and all that night. We were not home most of yesterday and when we got home our service was down again. I am so far behind on my visits to your blogs but I am going to try and catch up with everyone later today.

"coming in for landing" was my thought too - and then I read Sandra's comment and she already said it ;)

A Hover Fly? You find the dangdest little flying creatures! I never heard of one, he sure looks like he could sting. Love the coming in for a landing one! I'm guessing you used Macro on all of these, so I don't know how you managed that one. Now I want to know about this Hover Fly. You just knew I would, didn't you?

I'm sure everyone will understand about your internet connection. Beautiful photos, how did you know the colors of my granddaughter Sara's bedroom? I'm not kidding I looked @ the photo and said SARA!! LOL

Your little Hover Fly looks a bit like the fly I was asking about on my coneflower July 25 - but yours is
not yellow either! Perhaps they vary in looks from region to region... Do hope you are over your internet problems by now?

hey judy,
how are you?! I am so sorry for not coming on your site in a while. I've been busy with work and traveling. Love the new header. Thanks a million for your comments. Always deeply appreciated! Take care!

what a sweet pink daisy...the bee can tell

Judy Sheldon-Walker said...

That is such an interesting shade of pink, so vibrant. Don't feel bad. I am so behind on visits and comments, on Triond, Bukisa, and my blogs.

Tomorrow morning is the funeral and I am trying to sandwich a few visits in between everything else. We are only human, and perhaps that applies to our computers too. :-) They seem to be human at times. lol
