They were far too quick for me; I got dozens of photos of places where they had been a split second ago.
One finally parked on a green flower, and pretended to be part of it.

Flower mimic fly
At our local nursery, Potter's, there is a long, sunny bench of ground cover plants, raised to easy viewing height. A swarm of yellow and black flies was buzzing around them, often standing still in the air, just under my nose. I couldn't resist them, and spent some time chasing them with my little pocket camera.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
