blowing bubbles
I am very happy with this shot of a fly as i went out with my macro lens to look for spiders and came across this on the thistle and it hung around for quite a while.




please feel free to comment,

Jackie

Hi Jackie
All I can see is a little red cross in a box with an extra http bit in the image quote - So I hope a minor edit works

Yup - Nice one, I like it a lot - Oh for a lens that will get me that close! Well done

Regards
Andy

Fascinating how something usually so disgusting can look so beautiful on close-up!

Fantastic photograph I'm stating the obvious lucky the fly stayed where he did, this takes nothing away from your achievment, and a great achievment it is I hope to be this good one day.
