Yesterday I saw a small fly visiting flowers near our prairie.
This is probably a crane fly. It had a delicate but halting and jerky flight.

Rainbow in motion! What an incredible photo. You were in the right place at the right time with your camera to capture something amazing. (shaved yet?) Cheers, WG
Thanks. Yes, Congress acted, so I am back at work. And I did shave.
😉 Am glad to hear that. i finally vented in a post on my own blog last night, after watching too many adds for our governor’s race here in VA coming up fast. Sun here again today- out with the camera soon. Best wishes for a peaceful Sunday, WG
