  1. Strange men we are, eyes even expanded to behold something like a fly on a bird house roof. You got me there, I was wondering what the background could be. I would not have imagined a roof, so thanks for the hint. I especially like the bizarreness of the contrasty roof and the intrinsic curiosity of the fly. It might kill a cat, yet the fly lives:) Posted 13 years ago
    1. I have to say that even after a few days this new macro thing opened my eyes once again. Where before I'd look for birds, I now look for different opportunities :) Posted 13 years ago
      1. And as we know already, you have a splendid eye for catching catching anomalies. Posted 13 years ago
