Dahlia and Hoverfly

I'm doing my best to do outdoor jobs to stay out there as long as possible, but the bathroom was in dire need of a clean and also there was a double batch of tomatoes awaiting souping, so I gave myself a break and took the 'big lens' out in to the garden.  I've kept on top of the dead-heading this summer and so the dahlias have flourished, beloved by the bees.  I took lots of blips of flowers with bees and hoverflies, some with three bees on the same flower, but I think this is my favourite because of the unopened bud, the delicacy of the flower and the obliging hoverfly remaining still.

The bathroom is sparkling!
