Glad to see a few dragonflies escaped the jaws of the mighty heron, lol.
Found a couple of dragonflies yesterday. This one was not finished "hardening off" and the markings caught my eye.
they're beautiful Faye. I love the detail in the wings.
There's an artist over here that photographs wings of birds, and insects, and fish fns then superimposes them on to people, The end results are gorgeous. I'll post a pic of her if I can remember her name.
I love the bird looking under his wing, very comical. For some reason it reminds me of Big Bird
Heads up down under. Monday night will be the peak of the Delta Aquarids meteor shower. Visible up here, it's best showing is in the southern hemisphere. This should be a good year for viewing because the Moon will set early, leaving dark skies. If you can get away from lights the Milky Way will make a terrific background. If you can't get away on Monday, the new Moon over the weekend should provide a dark sky making a few meteors visible. (The meteor shower peaks on Monday night/Tuesday morning.) If you want to try photographing the (a) meteor shower just do a web search for "photograph" and "meteor" for advice on how. Hint: if you don't have a tripod, a bag or two of dried beans or peas can be used as a cradle to hold the camera. Hint: if you don't own a remote shutter release, the intervalometer will work. Hint: if you don't have or don't know how to use the intervalometer, the two second self timer will work.
