flies

I won't lie to you, this morning when I woke up I had yet to figure out which photo to share this week. I had a few that I've been saving from before, but I wasn't very excited about any of them. One of the things I love most about this Photo of the Week newsletter is that it forces me to go and find pretty things. So, needing a photo to share, I grabbed my camera and sat on my back patio, admiring the rose bushes and waiting patiently for something to catch my eye. Within five minutes this buzzing darts past my head. Turns out it was this pair of flies, chasing one another around the garden, and conveniently landing on the same leaf. I knew instantly that I had my shot. It was so pleasant out there that I decided to stay a little longer, and sure enough, I also captured a great hummingbird photo that I'll share soon. I've often found that putting myself in nature solves whatever problem I'm presented with. Today was no different.
