This morning I walked in the garden and noticed these two house flies mating, went inside to get my camera , came back and they where still doing there thing.
Took this shot with 50mm macro and 25mm extension tube, this means I was about 2 cm away from them ,could make this shot before they flew away....

Thanks Sergey for this comment and generous rating....;-)
25mm Tube is a Extension Tube (ring) EX-25..
Sorry I wrote 35 mm had to be 25mm..I will change that...!
I guess you know where the Extension Tube is for...?

Thanks Nigel for this comment .
Yes you are right in saying "Even flies can be beautiful" .
When you see insects thru macro it's a totaly different world.
