Something to Look At

These are Mountain Avens (Dryas octopetala, Rosaceae family) photographed in June, at Inchnadamph, in the Scottish Highlands. The rocks at Inchnadamph are famous for their role in the development of modern geology. They also contain a large exposed stratum of limestone, which produces a rich mountain flora. The flower on the right has a dipteran fly, attracted to the flower. Such insects are important pollinators.
