About Me

My photo
I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)

A Little Fly

 


This is a little fly. I don't really get on so well with flies as they tend to enjoy eating me but my secret weapon is citronella oil, this keeps them away from me! It was so bad for me that I was everyone else's insect repellent, it was an ongoing joke when we used to go out walking with friends!!!

  3. No puedo soportar, que entre alguna por la ventana y procuro echarla, poniendo la habitación oscura y levantando la persiena un poco, para que se salga a la claridad.
    Un abrazo.

  5. We just showed three flies how to exit our apartment. I find them very annoying at times when they fly around strutting their stuff. I have a small container to catch them and then boot them out the window. :)

    1. Haha I am the same Bill. I have a little tupperwear box that I catch them and put them back outside! Sometimes the cats get them though!

  10. Nature is not always benign, but never without a role to play - whether we like it or not!

  14. Everyone makes that joke about me, but they call me the mosquito repellent because all of them will fly to me and bite only me...so the others are safe around me.
    I got some natural oil repellent from DM last year, I'm surprised how efficient it is.
