Lawn daisy in the garden yesterday, with what I think is a fly of some kind. I am hoping that someone can identify it for me 😊
My possible identification is Hilara maura a species of dance fly but....
Tulips.
The road en route to scrabble yesterday. The sides of the road are full of cowslips and dandelions.

Love that first shot! NICE...and I am loving your tulips. Our tulips have just started blooming around here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam wish I knew what the bug was! Take care Diane
DeleteI love the beautiful flowers and I love to play Scrabble too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy, have a good day. Diane
DeleteThe road looks so narrow but quiet. There never seems to be many people around in your photos. Is it a quiet country village or do you just avoid people. Scrabble in French must be hard.
ReplyDeleteThe country roads are very narrow and not over busy generally. Very quiet between 12am and 2pm the French enjoy their lunch break! French is hard full stop!! If only I had a better memory!!!!!! T'other Diane
DeleteIt's so cool to see the Scrabble words in French!
ReplyDeleteI have never played in English!! Have a good day Diane
DeleteExcellent photos! That insect looks like it might sting!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. I really do not know and I still have no identification! Thanks for the comment and the visit Diane
DeleteBeautiful Spring blossom and the weather is definitely warming up. It is still summer hot in Durban.
ReplyDeleteIt really is quite pleasnat at the moment here but I am sure we will have another cold spell yet! Diane
DeleteThat is one weird looking bug in the first pic. As always, your flowers are beautiful and captured marvelously.
