I'm quite pleased with this close-up of a marmalade hoverfly(?) I managed to take yesterday morning on my Pixel 7 Pro. I've cropped and very slightly edited it (not for colour). It was resting on one of my neighbour's Japanese maples

Happy Friday, y'all.
The cold bugs are waning...
I love this time of year as the gently unfolding leaves of our #Japanese #Maples spread their joy in our little garden.
This one is called Miwa and is one of the reticulated group of maples with nice spring colour and interesting shaped leaves.
Most have different coloured veins to the #leaf #colour too.
Best in #shade where they can hold into their colours a little longer each @spring.
Still waiting for winter here! It's cooler, especially in the morning. The maple is still holding onto some tan leaves. Some ice would yield another kind of beauty...

Plenty of #maples are transitioning before dropping in #Melbs.
The are #FreemanMaple (#elsternwick #Australia) spotted recently from the footpath!
This time of year is magical.
#Maples are turning red during this early #autumn period in #melbourne #Australia!
What deep and delicious colours we’re seeing around the burbs at present.
Seeing this small but impressive #mapletree on an #ashburton #Australia nature strip a couple of days ago, made my heart race.
With simplicity, comes undeniable beauty.
