Hi Mark - this is a very nice shot! Very sharp and crisp. The fly looks pregnant to me as well ;)

Another nice shot Mark, agree that it looks like a pregnant fly. Not sure on the species myself.

Somebody's going to have a lot of new little flies to take pics of soon :)

Great job on the fly, and the bud too (not too many blown highlights)!

Hiya LR, Brian, Dave, Omri & Bea,

Many thank for all your comments, after a very hot steamy morn yesterday & some lousy shots I went out in the garden last eve saw this little fly & took just the one shot not really thinking it would come to much, strange when you try you don't succeed then when you jus hope for the best it sorta happens??
Cheers for now still hot n sweaty, yuk!!!
