A fly on my window provided this intimate view of the underside of a fly (I know, I need to clean my windows).
Anyhoo, what's with those feet?

ATTENTION
- Our eyes and ears should be open and alert to the natural wonders that surround us every day. Take time to look out our windows to see the birds that visit us and open our windows to hear them. Walk around whatever space we have to enjoy the birds in nature. Every day, work on improving our powers of observation.
ACCEPTANCE
- Nature happens. We cannot MAKE natural things happen (or NOT happen). We can create habitats to encourage natural things to happen around us, but there are no guarantees.
RESPONSIBILITY
- Birdfeeding comes with responsibilities to the birds and the environment we share with them. If you are unwilling to accept these responsibilities, you shouldn’t feed the birds. We also have a responsibility to share these natural wonders with the next generation.

Hee Hee..very cool shot Zen!
Posted by: Dawn Fine | June 29, 2009 at 09:20 PM
yeah what IS with those feet???
Posted by: windyridge | June 28, 2009 at 11:35 PM
Ha Ha -- nice shot! Those feet would come in handy (to a second-story man, that is).
Posted by: Margaret | June 26, 2009 at 10:55 PM
It looks like a pretty large fly, or maybe it's just zoomed in? The feet look like they have little suction pads. Haven't seen that before on a fly.
