I spent the afternoon trying to shoot bumble bees again. OK I know this isn't a bee, its a hover fly, however, I got distrated from the bees and thought I'd try hover flys for a bit!
lights never right for these guys ( for me ) , saw it hovering as I drove past, a u turn , parked up into the gateway , kay had the camera ready, handed it over , got out lent on top of the car , and shot . ( its really useful having Kay ready with camera while I am driving )
One day I'll get it in the right light,and get it right, thanks to Kay :0)
Another one from last year - taken in a neighbour's garden.
Tomorrow we are going to see the Funeral Home to arrange Peter's Dad's funeral and to clean out his room in the Aged Care Facility. It has only been just over a week since we cleaned out my brother's unit, so it is all a bit stressful for me.
Hover fly. Probably Simosyrphus grandicornis, family Syrphidae, or a close relative. They mimic bees and or wasps but are flies. And they hover.
I found this shot in my archives; taken while still living in West Vancouver, BC and it was of this purple flour and then I discovered the bee hovering about it.
I was at work the other day shooting these pink flowers and a hover fly landed just in time to be included in the picture :) Have a nice weekend everybody! I hope the weather shapes up nicely for all of you! ~ j.
A hover lift tractor carefully maneuvers HabLab 1 away from the docking cradle on Able Traveller, as a second waits its turn to make the connection. Both hover lifts in tandem take the module down to the surface from orbit. The process of undocking the HabLabs and linking them between tractors is a delicate one that requires several hours of space walks to complete.
A Common Kestrel hovering on the brink of the New Year! Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

Ein Turmfalke rüttelt im letzten Sonnenlicht des vorletzten Tages des Jahres. Ich wünsche Euch allen ein frohes und gesundes neues Jahr!

A red-billed gull. The wind was pretty strong that day and there were good standing waves that the birds could just hover in. Taken at the Royal Albatross Centre, Dunedin, New Zealand

We have two very competitive (what I think are) sibling juvenile ruby throated humming birds. They may be offspring of our early summer pair. (I would love some help with ID). They come every day, all day long. I haven't seen the parents in weeks.

I was around at Ron's garden and I was taking some photos of his roses when I spotted this wasp hovering around. I am very wary of wasps as they will often sting for no reason, so I moved away. When I loaded the photo onto the computer I found that I had actually captured the wasp hovering beside the rose. Best viewed original size.

These hoverflies become very territorial in early spring, each male claiming an aerial territory for himself and fighting away any rival males which come near. He will hover motionless for several minutes before attacking or chasing a female
A Cinereous Vulture (Aegypius monachus) was hovering over my head near some carcass crowded with large raptors. It looks stunning from close and it was really the big boss in the business with such a personality. I love the full spanned wings and wind slots in action during a circular turn. Pics was taken from Bikaner rural area in Rajasthan, India.
