Not all flies buzz

This week we had to get a close-up shot of a fly... are you kidding me... at this time of year.

I hunted for flies while we were cleaning up in Palmy.  Found one that was completely desiccated (and really ugly).  To be honest it wasn't a pretty shot.  I did the housework yesterday partly in the hope of finding something lurking... nothing.

Plan B - a fishing fly.  I could picture the nice colours reflecting in the sun against a black background.  We were going to visit a few open homes in Lower Hutt today so thought I'd go to Hunting and Fishing.  Got their address off the website and was good to go.  Nope, building demolished and a block of flats going up.

Plan C - the fly of my new jeans.  Fortunately I'd prepared this one on Saturday (contingency planning - who knew it would come in handy?)

Think the black and white gives it a bit of grittiness.  Anyway, job done and now on to the next assignment.  This time using film... wow!
