This blog is a way to reflect on my attempts to make a plot of land designed for humans a tolerable place to live. For me that means surrounding myself with a diversity of living organisms and understanding why I am doing it. If you are interested in understanding your place in nature, in enjoying backyard bugs and birds, or just passing by, then welcome.
The internet works in weird ways; I was just asked to ID a fly by someone via email on Monday, and I came up with a Pseudotephritis determination based on their description, and now you post a lovely photo and some info!
ReplyDeleteI agree, sometimes it is very weird, as if the ether were pulsing to some strange harmony.
DeleteThat's what's interesting today's technology works. Flies are not so evil after all. They have its beautiful side. Excellent photography.
