Is it just me......can't get the file to open, Adobe Acrobat comes back and tells me the file is damaged. Checked last week's and it still opens OK. Suspect some Gremlins have escaped from the zoo ???

Those are fantastic shots of the hoverfly. The detail of individual pollen grains is amazing.

Isn't 'Dream Dancer' an awesome crocus? 8)

It's a "k", Roma, honest!
