on the wall

So there was me. In my backyard. And there was this fly. It was an unusual fly. For unlike most flies, this fly was incredibly non-jumpy. Instead, it was incredibly chill. It stayed on the same flower for at least 10 minutes while I played with my camera.

So here's another el cheapo reverse-lens macro. I make do with what I got. For now. :D

And, I don't know. I'm just amused by its hairy butt. :D
