Not much of them this autumn because of the very dry summer and autumn.
See my pictures in Flickriver
A flock of birds
Hovering above
Just a flock of birds
That's how you think of love
And I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
Cause they fly always
Sometimes they arrive
Sometimes they are gone
They fly on
A flock of birds
Hovering above
Into smoke i'm turned and rise
Following them up
Still I always
Look up to the sky
Pray before the dawn
Cause they fly away
One minute they arrive
Next you know they're gone
They fly on
Fly on
Ohhh
So fly on
Ride through
Maybe one day I'll fly next to you
Fly on
Ride through
Maybe one day I can fly with you
I and Zach we stand for peace....
we dream... we love... we cry... we smile.. we.....
It was a really cold and wet spring day when I found this Bee fly, so I think due to the cold it was very sluggish and allowed me to carry it over to a nearby flower. This gave a more colorful compo : )
Decreased the aperture some so that I could more of the eyes in focus on this cloudy rainy day ... so the ISO went up and the shutter speed came down some.
Hand held macro.
Interesting just what this large fly with the bee body colors really is.
A spectacular and distinctive flycatcher, the bright red Vermilion Flycatcher inhabits riparian areas and scrub in the southwestern United States and southward. It perches conspicuously, making periodic flights to nab insect prey.
The male Vermilion Flycatcher often seeks to initiate copulation by delivering a butterfly or other showy insect to the female.
The oldest recorded Vermillion Flycatcher was a male, and at least 4 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mexico in 1972, the same country where he had been banded.

Thank You, Dianne and Julia, for Identifying this Bird !!
Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

I can fly
But I want his wings
I can shine even in the darkness
But I crave the light that he brings...

A roseate spoonbill shows off that amazing pink plumage in a flashy fly-by.

Another image from a rare foray out these past few weeks. This was taken in Bolehill Wood below Millstone Edge in Derbyshire - part of the National Trust's Longshaw Estate. The combination of time of year and plenty of recent rain had contributed to a relative abundance of Fly Agarics at different stages in their development. Unfortunately this one had lost most of its white 'spots' in the recemt downpours.
Mouche appartenant à la famille Rhinophoridae et de genre Stevenia, mais sans certitude.
Fly belonging to the family Rhinophoridae and of genus Stevenia, but without certainty.
Another one from my flight from Copenhagen to Frankfurt about a week ago.
Don't we all want to "fly away" these days? :)
But whereto?

Just a wee macro of a fly I took the other day. I don't think the quality is in this picture (sharpness) for a macro shot but all the same I think it is beautiful picture so uploading it to see if others see the beauty....
