Flower Fly (Toxomerus geminatus) feeding on a Purple Gerardia (Agalinis purpurea) - The Orange Trail, The Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge Wilderness Area, New Jersey
This guy decided to stop for a leisurely lunch on this Gerardia flower where it stayed for about 5 minutes giving me plenty of time to move past ensurance shots and into some serious compositions where I was able to fuss with angles, exposure and DOF.
Sometimes when I go out looking for something that's not there, I change plans, and this time I sat down next to a couple of yards of macro real estate and waited to see if anything might happen (worst case senerio, I come away with a couple of flower pics).
And who knows, that Marshie could fly over at any time, so the tele was at the ready.
