Yes as disgusting as this image is it just scratches the surface of what I saw. The fish flies were back on Sunday and they were everywhere. I knew they were back when I found one on the patio door. It is rare when they make it all the way out here but this one did.
I never gave it much thought but then later Jeanne called me while on her way downtown and suggested I should look at the car dealership at the corner of JFK and Pennsylvania. (By the way that is the front page story in today’s TH.)
the above image is representative of every car in their lot. They were all covered with the insects. Their entire building was covered. I mean you can only take so many pictures of dying fish flies.
The first image in this post is a natural pile of the dying flies. For some reason a huge number of them decided this would be the place of their last hooray and there was a pile about 2 -3 inches deep and 4-5 feet wide.
There were a lot of puffy white clouds in the sky Sunday morning and the sky was a deep rich blue so I snapped a couple of images of the sky as there is always a need for a nice sky. When I got home and was processing these images I noticed some spots on the sky pictures. “Oh great I have dust on my sensor”, I though, but as I enlarged the image those spots were fish flies still flying high.
Thanks for stopping by. Check out the TH-Online today as they have several more fish fly pictures. Enjoy your day and be careful.
Oh one more thing. Remember a few days ago I posted a look back to a year ago and some images of war birds flying at the airport? Well my friend and fellow photo enthusiast Andreas Exner was out at the airport Sunday and caught some nice formation flying images. You can check them out here.
