Those Wings

Double-click to edit...

We are starting to see a lot of Dragon flies. This one is a female Eastern Pondhawk. It is also refered to as a Common Pondhawk. Yes, it is a skimmer.

I love the details in their wings. It is long enough that some blur was created in the tail. I should have caught that before I snappped the photo.

We we driving to the exit at Garbry Big Woods Reserve. Frankly, it was a slow day for photography. I don't know how Teresa saw her, but she did. I stopped the car. We captured a few photos but she never moved. We were not really close, but I expected her to bolt. After a few photos, we left .. she stayed put. It must have been super comfortable.

Take Time To Stop And Look Around

On a recent hike, this tree caught my eye, but it was nothing special, but then I looked up. Sometimes we get too busy or just don't stop to look around. Perhaps you need to just look up. It would have been easy to have missed the beauty created by the canopy and the sky. I find that if I slow down I will usually see something that blows my mind.

I photogrpahed this Cedar Waxwing a couple weeks ago. It was the second one of the year.

The butterflies are starting to become very active now. Tha that is a fun time for us, but the Cicadas are driving me nuts. On a recent hike they were so loud it as crazy. And they are EVERWHERE. I guess I was not hiking as much 17 years ago.

This beautiful song bird is a Yellow-breasted Chat. I have photograped them before, but almost all of those photos were taken at Stillwater Prairie Reserve . This one was no exception. We were hiking at Stillwater Prairie Reserve. Such a beautiful bird!!
