..... before the macro lens I never realized how colorful these guys can be. And I have learned that not all of them are colorful. But this one sure was. Every day I am amazed at what beauty surrounds us - if we only take the time to look.I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in. ~George Washington Carver
Wow... just look at all that iridescence!
ReplyDeleteGoodness ~ having flies around all the time wouldn't be so bad if they were all as pretty as this one! Yes, even the flies of summer would be good about now. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday Kerri!

Wonderful macro capture... great color! Someday I'll get that macro!
ReplyDeleteI'm generally not a fan of flies but this fellow could win a beauty contest!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great photo and I love that quote.
ReplyDeleteLike the shot! I can't, however, say I miss the flies
ReplyDelete: )
I guess in a way all creatures have their unique beauty.
ReplyDeleteEven people.
Flies I do not miss, I hate them. I mean I REALLY hate them. So why are you taking photos of flies that I think are absolutley stunning! Stop that woman :) This is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Kerri!!!!!!!!!! WOW! This is absolutely AMAZING! Here I've been telling myself that I don't need a macro lens, because my regular lens lets me get pretty close, but THIS... THIS changes my entire attitude! WOW!
ReplyDeleteWhoah--that is stunning!
ReplyDeleteWOW! This shot almost makes me like flies!!...It definitely makes me like summer. :-)
ReplyDeleteI not sure miss flies, but that is one amazing picture. I never realized they had so much color!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an incredible macro! I never knew they could be so colorful! You are right - looking at the small things in the world around with a macro lens makes a huge difference!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing colors. Fantastic macro! I agree with your sentiments. There is such great beauty around us ... we only need to take the time to notice. Fabulous post, as always!
ReplyDeleteA beauty...I agree..must look closer and longer..
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of a fly being beautiful,but this one is gorgeous.I think he wins first place and so does the photographer.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
I saw a fly on Dec. 31, flying a little slowly though. Your photo is great--haven't seen so much color in a fly. Good job.
ReplyDeleteA fly never looked so beautiful Kerri.
