Time for a bit of exploration in a different type of photography for me. I went out with a friend to delve into the world of insect macro photography at Elk Island National Park. It was an interesting and eye opening experience and helps while away the time when bird and animal activity is at a low point in our area.
I will label the fly once I identify it through a friend's help.

Bee seeking nectar on a thistle in Elk Island National park east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Bird and mammal activity has been quiet in the area, so I have been pursuing my interest in macro photography along with my friend, Carroll Perkins, who is teaching me the finer points of this type of photography.
Take a moment and view some of his work on Flickr "CAPE".
