The Hoverfly has Landed

Although we had a couple of errands to do this morning, we took a break in Culross for a visit to the Palace Gardens. While there, I spotted a thistle-like plant with a couple of hoverflies on it and quickly took the shot before they flew off. On uploading to the laptop, I find that one is ever so slightly out of focus but this one, although really harmless, looks like something from an old "scary" film.
The gardens are beginning to go over but are still full of seed-heads and ripening fruits.
While at Culross, we just made it back to the car when a heavy squall hit. It was close to taking the car through a car-wash!
Hope you are all keeping snug and dry wherever you may be.
