Keeping with the macro theme of the last couple of days, I spotted this green fly glinting in the sun this afternoon in the garden. I love the red of the eyes that stand out so well.
I take a lot of photographs every day, but rarely publish more than one or two. Indeed I have a lot of photographs that I haven’t even processed which seems a shame, so here’s, hopefully, the first of a few catch up posts. Yesterday we had a great walk around
