I love it when insects land on the flowers I’m photographing. I think it’s fascinating to see them this close-up, and I really like this shot.
I’m a little disappointed that the fly isn’t more in focus, especially the tail end of his body, but I love the dreamy effect of the blurry flower edges and the out-of-focus background.
Of course, the only way to get the kinds of shots I’m after is to keep practicing, and I have absolutely no problem with that. 😀

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
I love your closeups of flowers! This is another beautiful picture, Kay. Love it.

Thanks, Tricia! We seem to be done with windy days for a while, so I’m going to have to go back out and try to get some more. 🙂

So do I. Vacation helped with that somewhat – there were so many awesome things to take pictures of! 😀

I’m not a rabid gardener but you do have the coolest flowers in your garden. I’m lucky if i can raise a mangy old daffodil.

Neither am I. I kill most things I plant. But the people who had our house before us must have been great gardeners, because all our flowers are leftover from them.
Luckily, established rhubarb is hard to kill. 😀

Thanks! Now that the wind seems to be gone and I’ve got some thistle blooms coming up in my ditch, I’m going to have to head back out and try some more. 😀
