A shot from a year or two back - I liked the way the little hoverfly seemed almost to float on these daisy petals

That little fly looks like it's about to take off, Ian.  The fly's sharpness in the midst of all this yellow lets it stand out very well.  It a view that has me grinning and thinking of summer.

Great macro shot of this little hoverfly.  I really like the way he stands out agains the bright yellow daisy.  Nicely done.  It is worth looking back into our archives sometimes.

Ian, nice soft yellow. A cute little fly on a big daisy. Great to see this in November.
