The fly who loved me

Looks like the tulips had a bit of a following on this brilliantly sunny afternoon.

I suppose I could have waited for them to fly away, or I could have waved my hand around them to scare them off. But in the end I captured them as they were.

I guess that makes me a lousy photographer, but I'd rather tell the story as it presents itself than try to shape the moment into some kind of idealized non-reality.

Somewhere in there, I think I may have also stumbled on a bit of a life lesson. And to think it took a swarm of flies to open my eyes to it.
