Lots of bees and some other insects taking pollen/nectar from one of our trees.
Hover fly, well hovering of course. (crop of image taken with D60 and 18-200 lens and downsized - too much by the look of it - lots of noise)

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Fall of Arthur
This book is recommended by Thygocanberra. I have a copy and will read with interest.
J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings
What can I say. My favourite book. I think I have at least four different editions.
R. G. Grant: Battle: A Visual Journey Through 5,000 Years of Combat
This is the dream book for wargamers. Literally hundreds of battles. Over 350 pages of full colour illustrations. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
John Gibson Warry: Warfare in the Classical World: An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Weapons, Warriors, and Warfare in the Ancient Civilizations of Greece and Rome
We all have a wonderful book with fantastic illustrations, that amazed us in childhood, and followed us to our grown up bookshelf. This is one of those books. (*****)
Antony Beevor: Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege: 1942-1943
In school we were taught such an English view of World War II. Now I have discovered the epic battles on the Eastern Front, truly gargantuan conflicts. This book is a great introduction to the Eastern Front and a brilliant history book. (*****)
So who is Uxor Petri? Is that LT?
I have another attack of masonry bees. I hate myself for doing so, but I kill these as they pulling several cups of cement out of one part of the house every year. There are quite interesting, being solitary bees with black and white stripes.

A shame she couldn't get a photo. So, the European wasps are good for something!

Very nice photographs. My gardening wife saw a European wasp dragging away a tarantula spider today. Amazing.
