Hoverflies & Snails

ColMofed

A few more from my Poor Hoverfly shoot last week and a couple of snails, also from last week. I haven't managed any photography this week (last day was Sunday). It would seem the weather, work, and other commitments are conspiring against me.

Here's hoping for a nice bank holiday

Those little Hoverflies photograph so well, at least they will let you get very close to them, and are not as skitish as most bees tend to be.

Very nice series Rod ... I still don't have my computer to look at the forum properly (still doing renovations at my house)

Nice series! I have never really given snails a close look before - now I'm going to have to find some to have a go at photographing with the macro lens.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Very much appreciated

Michelle, I came accross these two snails by chance. I was following an old stone wall on my way home when I found them, among other things, that that didn't photograph as well.
