Whether it's an embrace or impasse I love the photos! Looks like they could be in a slow motion drama like some sea going starfish that you can't envision unless the video images are sped up. In this case I think the flies are right. It's a draw.

I had another set of flowers, before this one that opened with an audible POP that positively startled me while I was quietly reading and drinking my morning joe next to the pot. I almost christened Nabokov in a black brew...

I’ve heard that POP once from a vase of freshly cut daffodils. It was late at night and scared the crap outta me. Took a second to figure out where the sound came from. The sound reminded me of one of those party poppers you pull the string on and confetti comes flying out;).

Fascinating! I have never seen that before. Heard about it. Wowzer

After their torrid confrontation, they hung spent and exhausted., but they found enough energy for a slow dance in the sunset with their fly maggots clutched tightly.

That is soooooo pretty and unusual, Mara.

You still have that great eye, Mara. Thanks.

The old eyes are still mindful of their surroundings and take joy with what they see.

Popping sound?? I never noticed on mine. And to say I never saw a dance like that before. Thanks for the pictures and story.
