The Lion and The Lamb Fly!!

I tried putting this as the title, but instead of showing the strike-through it just showed the HTML code!! Grrrrrrr! If anyone knows how to do that in the title I would be grateful :-))

Fly resting on dandelion petals. Another play with the old 50mm lens and close-up tubes.

Made for a mosaic challenge.

This time I decided to photograph some insects like grasshoppers and butterflies, so I took a long walk searching for them.

Among these flowers there were a lot of butterfies and bees. It was a great scenery. I take lots of photographs from there.
