Reflecting on one year of photo challenges, I want to thank Photography Life for providing an interesting, fun and challenging forum to share photos online!
Mayfly swarm, Fox River, N. Illinois. Lucky catch; the forest across the river was shaded, and the insects were backlit. 100% crops.

1/500 sec freezes wings and motion - but there's no way for all of them to be in focus!
