Blue Dasher Dragonfly

Taking the camera out to shoot some lotus flowers, my partner in crime Cuttidad was keeping herself busy with dragonflies. The images she was getting were great, so I joined in the fun and grabbed my large lens since those little guys tend to keep their distance.




What I didn't notice until reviewing the images, was the "screened" eyes. How cool! (click on this image to see the "screen" up close.)

Dragonflies and Marsh Wrens

During my usual foggy morning walks in Goose Lake, I happened across this dragonfly with it's wings shimmering in dew.





Upon further inspection, it seems that it is no longer with the living, which is why, I am assuming, was the cause for the dewdrops to accumulate.



I discovered this Marsh Wren throwing a hissy fit, which gave away it's location.



It seemed happy to oblige me in this photo shoot.

(Still trying for the Sandhills before they leave...or hoping they haven't yet...no sign of them as of Tuesday afternoon...
