What a beautiful shot! The out of focus river landscape adds to the charm.

I think most of our wildlife is becoming scarce sad really, Kevin posted an image of a spider with spiderlings, and I mention the dawn chorus not being what it was years ago, also, I have seen this year alone, only two common whites, no coloured specimens at all. With London, the reasons are easy to pin down, it's all the poxy development.

Both versions are beautiful and I do like the open FlickR version best. I also met Dino while I was in your FlickR account - also some amazing flower photos. You are so busy!

I think others are right about you. The insects seem to be comfortable around you. Perhaps they can sense you're a friend. Stunning shot. The background is perfect.
