On the fly

Great time for fly hunting, armed with camera and a small flash I take a stroll at dusk. I find insects sit still in the cooler air.

Thank you for viewing

Grass

I have one evening a week to post my 365 photos for the week. I also add them on Flickr and tonight I get them out of sequence. But never mind the world keeps turning. So to this photograph. I let some land around the house grow has nature intended it to. With wild flowers and different grasses, some of these grasses are now changing colour and I find when time is limited they make good subjects for close up photography. So in my studio ie: my front porch out of the wind it take only a few minutes to grab a shot.

Thank you for visiting and i welcome your comments
