Two of my favourite things - hoverflies and flowering grass! (And an out of focus photobombing plant bug that I didn't even see until I looked at the photo at home!)

 

I think this black and white bee may be Melecta albifrons, but I'm not sure.

Trophy bike for the "Grand Champion" of LSB Contest '21

(thanks Dan for the awesome photo edit!)

 

It's baaaack! (NO APRIL FOOLIN'). We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting for a return of the speeder bike contest. Well, here it is, so get to building!

 

Please note that we are going "Back to Basics" which means:

- Minifig scale only, with a rider shown on the speeder bike,

- Built out of physical bricks, and

- Judging will be largely based on the bike itself (with presentation style used for breaking the ties between close competitors).

- Only one entry per category, per person. Post only one photo into the appropriate category entry discussion here on flickr (you can replace/edit your entries up until the deadline).

LSB Contest '21 - "Let's Get Tropical!"

On the Perennial Basil

I thought it was a bee :-)

Terry Sims -- you started me on this :O) . Not sure which hover it is or if the blue abdomen is the true colour.

I went to the top of mountain to take photo of sun set ,

and then I found a buzzard hovering in the sky.

Ruby-throated hummingbird hovering in the air

On a Maximilian sunflower. Any species ID help would be appreciated. Looks quite like this one to me bugguide.net/node/view/11609.

A return 4 day trip to RSPB Bempton on the 5th June with 3 Photo buddies. The weather was very cold for June, very unexpected.

 

Day 3

 

Onshore wind, Brighter, but still bitterly cold in the wind.

 

This Northern Gannet was hovering in the wind updraft at the cliff edge.

 

The adult Northern Gannet or Gannet are large and bright white with black wingtips and an Orange head. They are distinctively shaped with a long neck and long pointed beak, long pointed tail, and long pointed wings. At sea they flap and then glide low over the water, often travelling in small groups.

Ground cloud hovers around the base of the Eastern Stirling Range Peaks, the headwall of Bluff Knoll can be seen jutting above the cloud. Stirling Range National Park, Western Australia/

The sculpted columns by Robert Graham are full of fascinating details. This woman extended out of the side of one of the columns and was only about 4 inches long. I loved the sense of tension, with her knees hovering just off the ground.

Taken shortly before our walk yesterday.

The cooler temps this morning allowed me to get very close to the creatures in my yard.

A very handy thing when shooting hoverflies is that, well, they hover.

 

This makes it possible to photograph them mid air, like this male thick-legged hoverfly (Syritta pipiens) which was trying to decide which specific flower on the great burnet in my mother-in-law's garden he was going to land on.

Hovering on a hunt

Waiting for my wife at a shopping mall.

It takes time.

 

Making me think that if I had a fishing rod here, I could easily pull up a couple of vanilla pastries without anyone noticing....
