A Little Red

The Halloween Pennant is a species of dragonfly. I do have a thing for dragonflies. This is a male.

I don't recall noticing the red spots on the wings. That little detail really makes this a special photo.

The Photo Is Better Than The Sting

This is a Lemon Cuckoo Bumblebee. They are farily common here in Ohio.

I have to share a short story. We were hiking near the Stillwater River where I was filming for a video I made for Macstock. I had a backpack over my shoulder with my gear in it. I felt a need to scratch an itch. It was under the right side of my backpack. It felt like I had a thistle stuck to my shirt, so I pulled it away and tossed it into the bush. Well, it was a bumblebee, and it got me good. It was not as painful as the last time a yellowjacket got me in the wrist, but it did hurt.

The second photo includes a Goldenrod Soldier Beetle getting in a photo bomb.

Keeping A Low Profile

The lighting and shadows really did not help with this photo. I believe this is a Double-crested Cormorant. Most of their body is underwater so it's really a difficult one for me.

Small And Beautiful

This is a very small butterfly. It is a Gram Blue. It reminds me of anotehr small butterfly that we have photographed many times: the Azure. Such a beautiful butterfly.

Gold Time …

It had been a few weeks since either of us has photographed an American Goldfinch. That is sad .. so I'll make it right with these two captures from last week.
