Fly on a buttercup above a dandelion


There are some dandelions in among the clumps of buttercups that grow profusely along the Trans Pennine Trail.

You can see the wider view of them on Hyde DP Xtra.

I was just trying to get a close-up of the buttercup and dandelion together when this blow-fly (aka bluebottle) landed just as I was taking the shot.

  5. Buttercups are coming up and spreading everywhere in my yard, but the flowers do have a lovely sheen. I wish I could just enjoy them. The fly turned out very well.
