Delicious!

My first Long-legged Fly shot of the year and even managed to get one eating something.  These are impossibly tiny flies so I am not sure what it's eating, perhaps a very small aphid nymph.  I enjoy trying to shoot these little flies - they are very pretty with colors ranging from metallic green to metallic bronze. They tend to stay on leaves but move erratically so they are challenging to photograph.  

I had a nice FT chat with my parents this morning - it was nice to see them after almost two weeks!  

I'm still editing and sorting my pics from TX and reliving the great times we had there.  I haven't gotten to my roadrunner shots next but hoping I got some decent ones of it drinking.  Suzanne got a killer shot with droplets of water coming off the bill.  

I spent most of the morning outside with Jax.  I left him snoozing on the deck while I did some weeding and general putzing in the garden.  Just as I was settling in to take some shots of the catbirds snatching berries, Jax started barking like crazy, hackles fully engaged.  I was expecting a bear but it turned out to be a buck browsing in the undergrowth next to the patio.  Jax clearly thought it was an immediate danger, silly dog.

Dark with nothing else today
