After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
I've been sorting out my 2011 folders and I found this one from back in the Summer, it made me smile...I hope it makes you smile too:)
Found this housefly resting on a branch and blowing bubble in my rooftop garden.
The housefly (also house fly, house-fly or common housefly), Musca domestica, is a fly of the Brachycera suborder. It is the most common of all domestic flies, accounting for about 90% of all flies in human habitations, and indeed one of the most widely distributed insects, found all over the world; it is considered a pest that can carry serious diseases.
The adults are 8–12 mm long. Their thorax is gray, with four longitudinal dark lines on the back. The whole body is covered with hair-like projections. The females are slightly larger than the males, and have a much larger space between their red compound eyes. The mass of pupae can range from about 8 to 20 mg under different conditions.
Like other Diptera (meaning "two-winged"), houseflies have only one pair of wings; the hind pair is reduced to small halteres that aid in flight stability. Characteristically, the media vein (M1+2 or fourth long vein of the wing) shows a sharp upward bend.
Species that appear similar to the housefly include:
The lesser house fly, Fannia canicularis, is somewhat smaller, more slender, and the media vein is straight.
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, has piercing mouthparts and the media vein is only slightly curved.

Looked up while in the bath and found these in a jar and looking closely a self portrait too, admittedly a distorted one.
involved me setting the timer, running and blowing bubbles, and hoping the camera focused on something good.
and I was wearing a shirt and underwear. no pants. :D
boy my head looks funny. and my hand too. I'm just a funny person. heh heh. :]
Bubbling Brook - Scene along a winding stream in Greer, Arizona: the magical, lilt and rhythm of the bubbling, rushing water is mesmerizing. Want to listen? Click on previous video for sound only.
It was a large-ish bubble from a street seller 's bubble gadget so was not as hard to focus on as you might think.
This is a pic of water droplets that look like bubbles. It was taken on a blue lid faced to the light.
It's been many months since I last published a picture. Going from at least 1 per day to nothing was not what I wanted, although I have taken quite a few. Unfortunately, I haven't been well for the past few weeks and being stuck in the house is largely driving me nuts. To try and address this I bought a macro lens (Tokina 100mm f/2.8 AT-X) so that I could do something around the house when I was feeling able. This is one of my first shots with the new lens, which is of olive oil bubbles in a bowl with coloured paper underneath, something that I'd tried towards the end of last year. I'm not sure of the composition but, heck, it's just nice to get something out there again.
