 The sun brought out the blue color on the abdomen of this fly in this photo of a fly on a calla lilly bloom. Who would have imagined a fly could look so pretty? The sun had just come out shortly after raining and left drops of water on the flower, which seemed to give the photo a fresh, spring-like look.

That fly looks dead (not that there's anything wrong with that). Love the clarity in the flower.

very cute, beautiful flower, I would have liked more focus on the fly though....not technically, but as the focus of the picture
