This Gallery of pictures features some of the best of my hoverfly' images for 2002, created using a Fuji FinePix 6900Z digital camera. There are other hoverfly' images, too, taken in earlier years, using a Pentax camera and conventional film, mostly Fuji. All images have been edited using Photoshop 6.
This page is currently in the development stage. Additional images and appropriate texts will be added over the next few weeks.
A new page illustrating lots more natural history items is being put together, too. You will find it at: Other NATURAL HISTORY HISTORY SUBJECTS.
