This lovely pink Herb Robert Blossom is one of many growing in the shady part of my backyard under the pines.
This fly species is in the Syrphid Fly family, commonly called Flower Flies. As adults these flies are important pollinators. As larvae, many species are considered beneficial in that they eat other insects, often injurious to plants, such as aphids.

Having a late lunch on some cow parsley flowers. I'm amazed this came out as well as it did. The gusty wind was blowing the flower heads about all afternoon.
First time building imperial vehicles! Did you know in-universe, they were supposed to have tracks and not hover?
Abbotsford BC Canada
I was surprised by the behavior of several tree swallows today. They would fly around, zooming back and forth, and then pull-up and hover. They didn't seem to be feeding. I've never seen this before, but it sure was spectacular in this field of wild flowers. I wish I could have nailed one, but it proved near impossible for the D80's AF to focus on the bird in a field of flowers.
Hover-lift tractors work in tandem using a suspensor field to transport the HabLab modules from orbit down to the planet surface. They are still prototypes, and due for some refining, but there is too much drama in this photo to not use it! The only editing I did was to resize the picture, the rest is playing with flashlights in the dark. I'm liking this noir style of lighting, it seems to create an appropriate mood for the subject matter.
These are shot taken on a macro safari through a nature reserve in Clints quarry a disuseed limestone quarry
this guy would hover in front of me and then move just before I took the shot, I swear he was winding me up, I think using a manual focus lens here made it a bit easier.
not that interested in making vehicles, but here's my attempt at a hover tank, anyway. The hull is too tall I know, but I'm fairly pleased with the turret design.
Early morning walk from Ranweli Hotel along the river bank, and back along the beach.
Also known as, Long-billed Sunbird or Maroon-breasted Sunbird.
A sunbird endemic to peninsular India and Sri Lanka. Its long bill distinguishes it from the similar Purple Sunbird that is found in the same areas and also tends to hover at flowers. Like other sunbirds, it feeds on small insects and builds characteristic hanging nests.
Pied kingfishers hover far more than any other kingfisher species. They hold their trunk nearly vertical and beat their wings rapidly with their head and bill angled sharply down.When it spots it's prey, it dives into the water to pick it up. This dive seems more like a free fall. The whole process of hovering, spotting and diving is spectacular. This shot was taken just after it missed it's prey. It was preparing for a another attempt. The water droplets can be seen on it's belly.Wanna learn fishing, learn it from a pied kingfisher and forget the fishing rods :-).
Hovering Male Kestrel. Cromwell Bottom, Elland. 25/4/2023. This is another first - I've never got a shot of a Kestrel in flight before.
This Bee landed on the small alpine flower which was bending due to its weight. When I looked at pic saw the blurred wing beats as it was determined to get the nectre.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images
This was a very difficult shot to get, hover fly’s like to move around and there fast, I also had to use a manual focus, which I was continually having to change.
I managed to get a few good shots including this one which I have cropped.
I photographed this boat in Concarneau, France. It looked as if it was hovering above the water, although I can assure you it was floating. Optical effects always fascinate me.
I was thrilled to capture this hoverfly & thistle blossom "action shot" on my cell phone beside the Rhine River halfway into my 8-mile Three Bridges Walk
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
