The Life of a Fly. by ladymagpie

The Life of a Fly.

I took this capture some time ago, but it came to relevance today as I was having my afternoon nap. I'm getting old, so I do like a little afternoon snooze in my reclining chair. I tried to doze off but every now and then I heard a buzzing around my head, right it's a fly and it’s got to go.

I spent the next half an hour chasing it around the room, opening doors to other rooms that it wouldn't go in. Suddenly I cornered it around the kitchen window, quarter of an hour later I was still trying to swot it with the tea-towel.

Finally, it went quiet, so I moved the plants off my window ledge, it had only got it's self in a spiders web and was trapped. A big thank you to the spider, and a bigger thank you to my cleaning ladies for missing the cobweb.

Keep smiling, and no it was now too late for my snooze.
Great macro shot !

I like the level of detail in the photo as well, but i really loath the subject. 😀

Such extreme aggravation. I’ve been through the same thing. And what a sense of satisfaction once the vile thing is swatted and dead!

Enjoy the snooze. Great closeup though.
