Fly on Bird of Paradise flower in the backyard of our San Francisco home 20210702-125554B

            I made this photo of a fly on Bird of Paradise flower as I was strolling our small urban backyard. I shot this in the summer of 2021, over a year into the pandemic. Took lots of photos in the backyard during that time – still do. Flies can be pretty annoying and disgusting insects. One thing most people do not consider about flies is that they are also pollinators. This is the cropped version of an original image captured using my Canon Powershot SX50.
