A fly on my peony

A fly landed on my peony as I was trying to do a macro shot of the 'soon to be opened' bud.

A beautiful sunny day in Arnold today. The temperature hit 24C. Phew what a scorcher !

Gee! I think we made 15 yesterday and thought that was warm. Fabulous detail in this shot Phil

Oh that sounds painful - ooops!

Cheeky fella that fly is, spoiling your shot! Still, a good shot of him though.

Quite a nice macro shot. What a great capture of both! Ha!

Photo bomber of the best kind! I like it. That peony looks like silk!

[Phil Howcroft]

@espyetta oooh Mary Beth, I never thought of the fly as a photo bomber , but you are right :)

Great close up but all I could think of were the invisible germs on this little guy!
