I recently visited the Johnson Branch Unit of Ray Roberts Lake State Park.  Here are some highlights.

The wildflowers were plentiful.

Times like this I wish I had a tripod with me but I’m sure by the time I set it up, my subject would fly away.

I’ve never seen these types of birds’ nests in person.  A quick Google search suggests they are swallow nests.

I think the photo below might be my best fly photo to date.  It’s not for everyone but try taking a photo of a fly and you’ll quickly realize it’s not that easy.

Camera:
Big Bertha (Canon EOS 5D Mark II)
Lens: My beloved 100 mm macro lens (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro IS)
