I forgot to include this photo of a beautiful fly in my November Changing Seasons post. You know the weather is warming up when the blow flies come a-visiting. Maybe these exquisitely beautiful creatures are not such a pain after all. Unlikely praise for the king of the flies.

Wow, I never realized just how beautiful a fly can be! Great photo! I still have to say menace though!

It is gorgeous. My camera has opened up a whole new world to me, Heather. Now I can actually see things.

What you say is so true. I have found the same. I’m slowing down and paying more attention to my world! Discovering beauty where I never noticed it before!

Beautiful pics, Tracy. What camera? My favourite, Nikon P60 is on the blink and I’m looking for a new one. Yes, a camera opens up the world in a different way. Enjoy the view!

I”m embarrassed to say, dawn bird, because I don’t need such an expensive camera. It cost a fortune, but because I wanted to take bird photos and because I can’t see all that well, I wanted a touch screen and continuous auto-focus, so I went with the Panasonic Lumix G9. Then there is the costs of lenses on top of that. I economised there. Plus the trade-off was I stayed in a tent rather than motels when I went on holiday. And saw many birds as a result, 🙂

A good camera is worth it, but then, I’m biased! Once I started taking photographs I realised there was so much more to experience in life. I’m sure you’ll get hours of fun.

I do. It beats saying that I can’t see a particular bird when it is pointed out to me. 🙂

That fly sure is a handsome fellow but I don’t welcome the fly season, the constant buzzing drives me nuts.
