Soldiering on...

I think (?) this is 'chloromyia fermosa' (a common soldier fly).

It sounds exotic, as if it should be a pretty little flower (whose scent anaesthetises those who are too short sighted to keep their distance!).

I wanted a good shot today (there've been too many days of 'quick blip').

This wasn't it. So, it wasn't necessarily a quick one, but it's the best of an average lot.

It was (in my defence) very windy and mostly grey with only occasional sunshine.
(And now I sound like a weather forecaster *waves left hand artistically (like fop) with fingers outstretched, ballerina-fashion*).

But hey, tomorrow's a new day, as yet unblipped.

Someone said yesterday that I sounded fed-up. I'm not! (But looking forward to a rest!)
