STOPS ALONG THE WAY

HIGH-FLYER

FlyI’m not a great fan of flies but they can make engaging subjects, particularly the pollinating kind like this one. There’s a tiny garden maintained by a local business association that plants a variety of wildflowers every summer. I was walking by when I spotted the fly on some milkweed.

    Nice capture, Belinda. I like the way the top blossom arches over the fly, almost protectively!

    Well spotted. I think we grow up with an aversion to flies in association with the food we eat, yet we need to acknowledge they too have an important role to play. In this case, pollination is one of them.

    Your photo is great, but I agree with you on the subject.
