Fraid I can't resist these flowers - think the petals act as parobolic reflectors and give a wonderful light.
First 3 shots natural light, last 2 shots full flash.

    Thanks for the comments all - much appreciated.
    One disappointment is I don't seem to have any hoverflies feeding on the pollen as in previous years.

    I'm torn between the softness of the natural light, and the wonderful detail with the flash--all are wonderfulwings.gif
