Macro Fairy

About a 6" X 4" Crop

This crop would look good. Unfortunately, I'm tragically lazy :) So just pretend, ok? :)

LARGE

Not only did the UPS man bring me a Macro lens today, he showed up about 5 hours early! So I'm outside trying to take a picture of the water drops. I backed away from the camera to throw Sheena's frisbee and when I put my eye back up to my camera...there was a fly. He landed so perfectly I didn't even have to refocus.

He must be the Macro fairy.

I'm definitely going to need his help. This first shot was the only successful one of the day so far.

All other Wednesdays might pale in comparison :)

Thank you for the invite.

Did you really want to see his butt?

Thank you, Stacye.

It's amazing the stuff you see through the lens, especially for me because I have terrible eyesight!

Thanks, Doug!

I may never forgive you for planting that annoying song in my head :)

I'm not sure I'd say it was amazing, but it is pretty damn cool! Thank you for the award!

Thank you, that's my ornamental plum bush.

Thank you, Richard.

that's the best looking macro fly Ive seen lately. wow, you bring house flies up a notch with this one. perhaps because his butt isn't visible. but this kind has decent eyes. must be a wild house fly. might even put a leash on him and keep him around. :) Great shot, pink leaves and crystal balls and handsome flies, really throws a nice twist for the eye.

Randy Sartin says:

I absolutely love this shot! I hope you don't mind but take a look at the crop note I did. I also hope everyone noticed what the Fly is actually doing...he's looking at his self in the mirror! OK he's probably not but when you look at the large size you notice a spectacular reflection of the fly's head on the closest water drop in front of him. WOW!
