Life does not always give you exactly what you ask of it. Life is not a gumball machine, hungry for quarters.

[Mydas Flies are large, heavy-bodied wasp mimics. They are a velvety black, with the 2nd abdominal segment being a bright orange-yellow, orange, or reddish orange. Blackish wings have a bluish or purplish sheen. Mydas Flies are frequently seen on flowers and they presumably feed on nectar (they were once thought to feed on other insects).]

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

A very handsome creature.
Thanks! 🙂 Most people don’t see flies (of any kind) as being handsome!
