We have bought a fancy (tough and waterproof) point and shoot. We broke the last one just outside of a year so decided to save and spend a little bit more. This new one also has a macro setting so I had a little play this evening - might take some practice to get the focus sorted!

One of my favourite flies to wish everyone a happy Fly Day Friday - Tachina fera!
Tachina fera, a Tachinid Fly, is a very common, large (9-16mm) and bristly fly with a prominent broad black stripe down the centre of an otherwise orange abdomen and with a wingspan of 16–27 mm. It can often be seen in moist and well vegetated locations where it feeds on umbellifers and waterside plants during May to September. The larvae are parasites of caterpillars and other young insects. It is common and widespread in England and Wales.

My friend Bob Haase and I collaborated on some still life images of vintage fly fishing tackle. These items are entirely from his collection.
The sunset looked promising, but then in the distance a bird visited a tree and I waited for the moment. I was lucky.

Bombyliidae or Nemestrinidae?

No, bee-fly - bombylius major. This strange looking insect with its ultra long legs and proboscis is an early spring visitor that looks very like a bee but isn't one. It hovers like a fly and flits about at high speed like a bee, especially when photographers get too close.

It's a Saturday but Metra still runs every two hours to pick up passengers from northern Chicago suburbs. I really can't get enough of the windy city. There's so many angles to play around with here. And blue F40s make it even better
