Hoverfly

Good Afternoon evening Flickr Friends. Well today didn't go exactly as planned. I was at my first birding location and was getting some decent shots. My cell rang and it was the young fella that took my old position. I have been mentoring him for a couple years and he said he needed to talk with me. As it turns out I was only about 400 yards from his office. So he came over to where I was. We had an excellent chat and he learned some more ins and out of being a Senior Manager in a bureaucracy. He is such a smart capable young man when you teach him he gets it right away but he is also a 30's something and patience is a virtue he has not quite mastered. Had to talk him back from a couple cliffs he was about to leap off. Anyway that was about 3 hours and by then the breeze had come up and the birds had went for their noon siesta. I took a ride over to the Palmer Visitor center and they have a great flower garden there. Shot a few flowers and then got distracted by the bees and hoverflys. I'm easily distracted. :)

Shot a few gig of them and soon discovered when I got home that shooting little things even with a good macro lens takes some learning. This is one of the few shots I saved
