Red on yellow, no flies around...

How elegant, artful work Isabel

Obrigada Luc

Bright colours on a rainy Sunday Isabel! My fly squatter is blue like your rope :-)

I have a green one too in my other place…
Would love a greyish sky day for a change…

Gret colours, that should keep them under control.

I am quite good at that, obrigada George

Trivia > I read where flies shoot off before you can swat them,.. because they can sense the movement of the air long before the swatter gets anywhere near,.. end of trivia... // Dj.

Maybe but with practice you almost never miss them, I am a pro !

nice and soft

Obrigada Wierd

Hi Isabel
A wonderful and interesting picture, and logic puzzle...
Have you killed all the flies?
Are they scared of the yellow swatter and stay away?
Were there no flies anyway, making the swatter redundant?
Maybe a better way of keeping flies away is out of the picture?

Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

I had just killed some, then had the idea of this for the challenge!

That is a bold swatter. I'm sure that the flies did not stand a chance against it.

Guess I am pretty good at it…

Lovely light and colours with some interesting shadows Isabel.

I think you need one of these: www.amazon.co.uk/Fly-Gun-Colour-Vary-Blue/dp/B001158V04

:-)))

Didn’t know such thing exists, but so used to the old type ones…

;-)

Beautiful image
Happy Sunday.

Happy week Annamaria

My grandmother uses a device like this to get rid of flies.
She does it with a quick movement that you can't imagine from her daily life.

That makes two of us !

A handy red fly swat. Terrific composition, Isabel. We have quite a few, but they are all blue.

I have 4 of different colors… just had to pick the right one for the challenge !

I always enjoy photos that take the most mundane subjects and expose their unexpected beauty.

Obrigada Andrew, glad you enjoyed this one.

Simple and striking! Love the colour, I have only ever seen white fly swatters here...

Don’t know if color matters to their performance, I am good with any at killing mosquitos (I try to put flies out, but some don’t go so I have to kill)

I never had one, having been put off in my youth by my dad killing big fat flies that stuck to the plastic.....

I know, it is quite disgusting…

Good color choice. Seems like flies like neither red nor yellow ;-)

When they don’t bother me I leave them to their life, but when they get aggressive… I kill them!

Here they don't get aggressive, they just get annoying. And I usually open the window and chase them out ;-)

Schöner Farbkontrast

Obrigada, it was required by the challenge.

Very nice.

Lovely mix of red and yellow. I have one in every room in our summer.
