Thanks Mike. My naming of the Fly was a wild guess based on the notion that this is the month of May and the thing just started showing up.
As far as the mushroom is concerned, yes a bit distressed and could have used better lighting. I bought it at our farmer’s market a week earlier so it had dried out in the meantime. And I think it also was distressed because all of the rest of its brethren had been chosen for the saute pan and a warm swim in an omelet/scrambled egg dish. By the time I got to doing my planned macro shots I was losing patience, Meg was trying to read the Sunday paper and didn’t want me dimming the lights or closing the shades, I didn’t have another table to relocate to, so I just did a couple of quick shots and resolved to go back to the market this coming Saturday… I did a a long series outside of the bee on the flower. Most are essentially identical; there was a breeze and I was trying to anticipate quite moments. At some point the bee changed positions and is more sideways to the camera, maybe a better “portrait” of the bee but I liked this pose. Thanks all for your comments..
