Fly on post, 6/9/24

Another day when there wasn’t really a great deal to look at, but it was a sunny afternoon with good light, so in the end, something came up.

Anthropomorphism: the attribution of human characteristics or behaviour to an animal or object. Hard to avoid, particularly if you are the maker of a Disney movie. But I still say this fly looks proud enough to me. And like it’s enjoying the sunshine.
