Yellow Flower with Fly Upon It

Yellow Flower with Fly Upon It

When Andy and I went to the dog park this morning with Buxley and J.J. to meet Robert & Robbie and Napoleon, I decided not to bring my camera. I knew there would be things I’d want to shoot, but I was tired of taking photos– and especially tired of postprocessing them on the computer.

When I saw Robert, whom I’d photographed with his dog, Napoleon, a few weeks ago, he told me I had inspired him to go buy a new camera, and he showed me his new Canon SD630. I couldn’t resist; I asked him if I could borrow it just to take a picture of one of the many pretty little yellow flowers that had blossomed on the sage bushes since the last time we were there.

These flowers are only about 1.5″ in diameter, and they grow on what look to me like sage bushes. I just happened to shoot one with a fly on it. I’m pretty happy with how it came out.
