Flies

The 60 or more flies were absolutely abuzz with excitement which is the very scene that motivated me to shut down the mower and take a closer look. As I approached I became aware with both my sence of sight and smell that they had initiated this celebration around the discovery of a massive pile of canine fecal matter.

I wonder if man’s best friend knows the delight he brings to the fly community every time he pauses to answer the call of nature. As I lay on my belly 24” inches away from this fly convergence I am struck by the frenzy of activity. I am not sure what a flies life expectancy is but this was quite possibly the biggest event of many of their lives.
