I passed the time waiting fruitlessly for the return of the small white by taking what was on offer.
First one is a close up of a common house fly at rest on a bay leaf. I know that the D0F is very shallow - it was not intended to have a sharp top to bottom of the head. Know about the moire too
Second is a hoverfly nosing at small jasmine flower.
The last is a geranium flower peeking out from underneath a hebe bush.
