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.

To encourage interaction, the interior of Frank Gehry's building makes prominent use of stairways to move people around the building. This polished stainless steel staircase lends a sculptural focal point to the main lobby, reflecting the movement of people (and ideas).

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.
It was cool watching the vines on these plants slowly start to wrap around the stick
