She was taking a break, on her thoughts I guess she would never expect someone was about to approach her asking for a photo... but she agreed and approved the result, so here it is for you!
The Snow Bunting on the post makes it clear through body language that the other should move on.

The large fly is different than the usual blowflies in the garden. She is larger and more colourful with a different shaped body.
While photographing the large fly when the little one landed in front of her (I presume) and proceeded to get into her face. She ignored him and continued to clean until he poked her in the face. He eventually flew away.
Both have white faces. Unfortunately I didn't get a front view of the small fly.

An ID of Chrysomya varipes has been placed on the male of the two here but further study would be needed to confirm the ID of the female but without specimens, this is difficult.
The photos and video show "Assuming this is the case, then this behaviour appear to be the final stage of courtship, before mounting, or not, as the case may be..."

As I lift my eyes towards this slender branch against the pale blue of the November sky, I feel a resonance within me. There's a sense of reciprocity as my eyes take in all the details of what I see. The branch, the seedpods and leaves take on another meaning under my gaze. In that moment, we are joined in an exchange.
The tips of the secondary branches all curve upwards and tightly furled spring buds hold me in their spell.
I honour such encounters as these.

Diving with California sealions is just a wonderful experience. They interact with you so much, they are curious and sometimes playful with you. They also make you feel ridiculous..you realize how poor your swimming abilities are compare to theirs.. taken near La Paz, Baja California. MX
Conowingo Interactions
While there are far fewer eagles at Conowingo Dam than are present at the height of the season, many interesting interactions still occur between the bald eagles, black vultures and great blue heron

Tyke is shaping up to Lou(note his bulging eyes), trying to get a rise out of Lou. She was more interested in sleeping than any antics, the confines of the Highsider providing security.
This photo was taken on the island of Crete, Greece, in a rocky coastal inlet. Shallow pools of clear water form among jagged stones and pebbles, revealing submerged textures and geological layers. The foreground is filled with scattered rocks, while the background features a mountainous landmass under a partly cloudy sky. The scene captures the interplay between land and sea — where erosion, mineral rhythm, and Mediterranean light converge in quiet clarity.
Cette photo a été prise sur l’île de Crète, en Grèce, dans une crique rocheuse côtière. Des bassins peu profonds d’eau claire se forment entre les pierres et galets, révélant des textures immergées et des strates géologiques. Le premier plan est rempli de roches éparses, tandis qu’à l’arrière-plan s’étend une masse montagneuse sous un ciel partiellement nuageux. La scène saisit l’interaction entre terre et mer — où érosion, rythme minéral et lumière méditerranéenne se rencontrent dans une clarté silencieuse.
It was cool watching the vines on these plants slowly start to wrap around the stick

People Connecting... one of a series of shots from a photoshoot I had tonight.
Tech Info: Three Photogenic 1250's fired from behind a white paper seemless, with two White Lighting X1600's to the right and left of the camera with grids feathered just to hit the edges of the face with the power lowered down a good bit. Flashes triggered by Pocket Wizards Plus II's and captured with a Canon 5D w/ 24-70mm f/2.8L lens.
The urge to photograph Kyle for this project came unexpectedly as he was advising me on paint colors at Lowe's Home Store. (I liked the way his beard was peeking through his mask.) I had to act fast because there was a long line of customers and some of them were beginning to grumble about the delay.
Before Kyle had a chance to respond, I took 6 pics and quickly explained what the project was about. Then I asked him to tell me something about himself. Anything.
He said he was looking forward to moving into his own apartment next month. "Do you have paint colors in mind or do you struggle with this the way some of your customers do? I asked. "Yeah, sometimes," he answered with a chuckle.
The 100 Stranger Project is forcing me to take risks: I'm getting better at approaching people and explaining what the project is about in as few words as possible. To capture the spontaneity of the moment, I take no than 6 or 7 photos. I'm almost always satisfied with the result. There's no time to overthink things; I just go with my instincts in trying to capture the moment.
