#Flyday IDs welcome for this little friend I made in my office yesterday.

Photo of a small, sepia-toned fly with golden brown eyes and narrow wings patterned like transparent picture jasper. The little fly looks like xe is sitting on an abstract brutality painting: The backdrop shows a wide, grey bar banding the frame from the lower left corner up to the upper right, a thin bar of shadow edging the dark taupe of the upper left corner and a series of alternating black and grey bars descending in perfect parallel angles down the lower right corner (it is actually the surface of an office radiator).

It's #FlyDay

If FrogDay is not your kind of buzz, how about #FlyDay?

Straight on view of fly eyes that look like a geometric brown buckyball or maybe the whole thing is a prototype of a scaled down version of Apache helicopter? The wings are back a ways and out of focus, but level with the eye "line". Legs are clasping a tiny branch that's broken off just in front of fly. Lots of angles, making it look spring loaded and ready to *zip* away.

Good Morning! May you fly through the day victorious... #FlyDay #photography #birds #lorikeet #UmbrellaTree #nature #wildlife #gift #EastCoastKin (expect a few more lorikeets with umbrellas. 'Tis the season)

It's #FlyDay

It's #FlyDay and my #Birds post today is a Snowy Egret. I'm getting used to the new camera and how it does focusing - getting some good BIF picturs. πŸͺΆ #EastCoastKin #Nature #Wildlife #Photography

A Snowy Egret, flying off into the sunset, calm waters below.  The sun is just catching the right eye and yellow around the bill.

STALK. EYED. FLY.

#Diptera #entomology #flyday

A fly, its body skinny, with two thorns sticking out backwards. Its eyes sit on opposite stalks, the span between them is almost as long as its body. A very strange, alien looking creature.

Happy #Flyday

I have fallen off the face of the earth again. Work gets in the way of life... I took this photo at Occoquan Bay on a frigid December day. Its easier to take thier photos when they are too cold to move. Despite the below freezing temps, I saw half a dozen species of arthropods. I'll try to post more...

A small dark fly on creamy colored dead wood. It has golden hairs that seem to look damp. It has large eyes that are dark brownish red.

I took this yesterday, and thought it might be a #FlyDay post - then #Feathers&Form is the #BirdoftheDay prompt, which fits too. A Great Egret takes to the air. #Birds πŸͺΆ #EastCoastKin #Photography #Nature #Wildlife

A Great Egret in flight, sun in the background, dark legs trailing and long yellow bill out front.  Necked curled in 'flight mode'.  Flying over calm waters in the harbour.

Rose-crowned fruit dove (Ptilinopus regina) Happily it's both #FlyDay and the theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #ShortBeaks, so both qualify. In the canopy at Fogg Dam. #photography #birds #nature #wildlife #EastCoastKin

A beautifully multicoloured but muted dove, with pink cap, white head and shoulders, orange belly and green wings. Seen here in rainforest shade against a backdrop of sunlit green leaves.

Just noticed this long-legged fly on the rattie igloo. I moved her to the plant shelf where late Peppa’s terrarium with flowering begonia and kalanchoe is, because it’s been freezing outside. Where did she come from?

A teeny iridescent metallic green and gold fly with long legs is perched on the edge of the bright green felt igloo. A pretty bug I usually find in my flowerbed in the summer.

Today’s #FlyDay shot comes from the balloon rally this summer. JUST missed the focal point I was going for, but still love it.

A black and white photograph. Two gull-like birds fight just over the surface of a small river. Behind them, people cross a bridge, blurred out by distance. The sunlight filters through the birds, giving their wings an almost translucent look.
