Times Fun When Your Having Flies

I don't mean to be morbid but this was interesting to me. I love nature and this is just another fascinating aspect of it.

lol Your title's brilliant, the way of nature doesn't make me gasp with horror, only by human hands do I shudder ...

Sometimes I wonder if we humans are the only beings on earth that don't "get it". Great photo by the way! Love the title too! LOL!

I think just about everything is grist for the photographic mill. At first impression though, I thought this fly was hanging off a branch. Great capture --and title.

Wow! I had to look twice before I realised that the "twig" was actually alive!
An absolutely amazing macro shot.

Hi Gary, I just wanted to stop by to say heartily WELCOME BACK!!! And thank you for your very kind message at my blog the other day. I really appreciate it. We've all missed you, and it is wonderful seeing you back. I am sorry that the timing hasn't been great here on my side either. Hope to be able to say hi a little more by the time late March comes by. btw, your work is as outstandingly amazing as ever. Love both your pieces, yesterday and today!

Thats such a witty title, and a cool thing to photograph, though I must feel a little sorry for the fly, though I guess theres no shortage of flies anywhere. Good shot.

Fantastic shot! The detail is great - now I see why they are also known as the stick bug.
