Yes, apparently I will take a photograph of a fly.
Particularly if it is blue and sparkles.

This little guy was not a very willing participant in my nature photography.
He kept moving the entire time.
Odd Flying Insect
May 11, 2010 — DebbieI have no idea what this is. It was sitting on the outdoor table near my flowers. Terribly low light conditions so the photos aren’t good. If anyone knows what this is, let me know. Thanks!

Camo Grasshopper
May 7, 2010 — DebbieI dubbed this “camo grasshopper” because it was so very well camouflaged.
Take a look. Can you see him?
He is right in the middle of the concrete sidewalk.
Here’s a close-up:

Another Spider
May 7, 2010 — DebbieThis one is living in one of our English Boxwood bushes. Lots of spiders seem to love the English Boxwood bushes. :/
If someone knows the specific name of this species or type of spider, feel free to tell me in the comments! Thanks!

Woolly Spider
May 7, 2010 — DebbieTo avoid any possible confusion, please do not think that the “official” name of this type of spider is “woolly spider”. It’s not. Or it could be for all I know. LOL That’s just what I call them, “woolly little jumping spiders”.
I am not fond of spiders, but …. if I find one interesting while out with my camera, I will sometimes take it’s photo. This little fella kept sitting on the side of our gutter, defying gravity, and hopping back and forth until finally I gave in and photographed him. If you are squeamish like me in regards to spiders, I apologize in advance.
This little guy (or gal) was about the size of a dime. Notice it’s creepy little spider shadow. eeewww
