bigfly.jpg

Image is actual size.

I kid you not. Ok, maybe just a hair smaller. Found this monster of a horse fly between a window and screen yesterday. This is the one bug that Zeke and I will run full blast to escape (not that it does much good). It lands without you feeling a thing...that is until it takes a bite. Lighting and focus are off a bit but, hey, I wasn't really interested in getting closer.

Did you scan that horsefly in through your scanner? It must have made a mess if you put the scanner cover over it.
I also like the shadowing effect. It almost looks like you made it look nice with some Photoshop effects. You didn't have to do that for us. ;-)

Digital photo, removed the distracting background, and put a PS drop shadow on it. There was a bright sun behind it and no way was I going to move it to a more photogenic spot!
