What did you do to make it cry?! Bad Brian! :lol:

Well done my friend -shoot the critters long enough and you'll see them do all kinds of weird things... ;)

I'm forever blowing bubbles.... (tra la la). Supposedly, they do this for digestion. Extremely sharp, excellent lighting. --Rick

What! No flower refraction?
But seriously a great shot of an unusual activity.

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments all :)
Perhaps should explain the shots a bit more- it's quite common for flies to blow their stomach contents in and out as Rick says- supposedly as an aid to digestion, but I've never seen one get the glob stuck on it's eye before :)

Reminds me of a kid chewing gum who blows too big a bubble that is sticks to his face. :D Good shots of an interesting and comical interlude. Take care Brian.

It's an eye wash, just getting the dust out. Great shots.

[LordV]

Thanks for the comments all- much appreciated :)
Have to admit I didn't realise this had happened until I was processing the shots and of course the gob in the eye was the last shot in the sequence.

Hiya Brian,
Excellent shots/captures, love #2

I've trying to convince Ami for years as to why I do this at the table after a good hearty meal, perhaps now she'll believe me, no more Gaviscon :lol::lol:

Cheers for now

I think that fly has heard how good Brian's refraction pics are, and thought he'd see what all the fuss was about...

[LordV]

Thanks again for the comments all- (twice Mark ?).

bernie- think it would have at least blown a clear bubble for that :)

Hiya Brian,
Seem to be having probs with my Pc at the mo, whenever I type a reply & hit the submit everything I've typed is wiped & it's P'ing me off somewhat, y'day I tried replying to Irwin's PM three bloody times so |God alone knows what he's ended up with poor man:lol: I'm sure I've got a gremlin running in the background but nothing that I can find though :evil::evil: I got Anti this & Anti that running to keep any nasties out.

Anyway I've not quite lost the plot yet it's my Pc playing silly beggars

Cheers for now
Mark

Suspected that might be the case- happens to me every now and then with this forum and FM forum- think it's their servers clogging up :)
