Photography totally changes the way you see things. On a normal day, flies are just annoying at best. But, when you have a good camera and some macro extension tubes, they become fascinating subjects. The first of these flies I found struggling for its life in a stream. I held out a leaf to help it to safety, and since its wings were too wet to fly, I was able to get some really fun shots up close. The second little guy paid me a visit while I was trying to shoot photos of a dandelion. He sat on my pant leg and just chilled there for awhile.
