Thanks to RickT at The Mindful Eye’s community, I found out this lil critter is a native bee and not a fly as I originally suspected. I was practing my macro shooting out on my deck this summer when I was fortunate to have it pose for me. This is my Nana’s favorite photo. When I spent time with her in September she remarked over and over ”that camera sure takes good pictures”. I love you Nana!

For the most part I am an insominac and as such it’s not unusual for me to be outside photographing at o’dark thirty. I took this photo around 2 a.m. and was practicing night photography/long exposure. There’s a flood light off the side of our deck that I had turned on and seemed to highlight the branches of this bush. In the original image size you can acutally see a few cobwebs attaached to the branches, but that didn’t translate well once I resized it for this post. This has not been retouched and I’m not sure it needs to be -I quite like the composition of it and you?

Yet another experience in macro shooting. I happened to get a fly that was fairly patient while I snapped a few shots. I swear I don’t have an insect fettish, in fact those who know me know otherwise…but they do seem to be attracted to the camera, at least around my backyard & deck.
