About Me

My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

Hawthorn Fly

 



This is a Hawthorn Fly. When you see them flying, their little legs kinda dangle down and it is quite funny to see. I took these last May.

  13. Não me lembro de já ter visto semelhantes, por estes lados!
    Esta Primavera tenho abelhas cortadeiras, a fazer ninho na minha floreira de malmequeres... desde que não me cortem as folhas dos malmequeres, podem lá continuar... vêm com pedacinhos de folhas cortadas e depois desaparecem debaixo de terra, por entre a folhagem...
    Beijinhos! Bom fim de semana!

      Estou de queixo caído, pois os comentários desapareceram quase todos, logo a seguir depois de os ter deixado!...
