You're right! Just had a look through some of my other shots and that's much more of a hover fly's face. My apologies!

Enjoyed seeing this Bee Fly in the woods this morning, extracting nectar with its impressive proboscis. And always a delight to see them hover in patches of sunlight.

The 'Six Trillion Dollar Man' slogan was used against Biden and his May '21 budget, but it didn't stick. Perhaps after the stock market disaster of the last few days, it will against Trump?

Here's one of a visitor to the local woods this morning. Whether a ladybird, ladybug, ladybird beetle or Coccinellidae, it was soaking up some spring sunshine on an old log.

If the Ancient Egyptians
Invented nuclear energy,
Their pyramid inscriptions
Might suggest immoral treachery,
As the radioactive waste decay
Would be only halfway there.

The cost of looking after nuclear waste is astronomic – guard dog food alone $4.5bn?!

If Trump wants to destroy the US constitution and resurrect a monarchy, why bother with independence at all?
More seriously, this article has some very interesting comparisons with George III (and don't mention madness...).

I’m a Siberian bohemian
With heart quite subterranean;
The restriction of this lead
Is misery indeed –
I might as well be a Pomeranian.

The worst thing about shopping on another planet is seeing the alien infants on sale at the supermarkets. They pretend to be dormant, but the locals still crack them open to make cocktails. Sad.
