Another DIF (dragonfly in flight) - This little hunter gave me a break. It kinda went round and round this little lakeside area, instead of the supercharged zip-zip high-speed directional flight changes on a dime. I'm quite fascinated with them. I watched a really cool youtube movie about "the greatest hunter" that furnished fact after mind-boggling fact, none of which did I remember. Well, a couple of things: they have direct flight muscles for each wing, so they can move all 6 directions up/down, left/right, forward/backward. And here's something really cool: their teeny little brain can choose which hunting approach - tracking (chasing), or interception - to run down its prey. Remarkable stuff, summer entertainment at the "pond".
The background is indeed the lake, I was a little elevated on the shore bank. Be sure and check it large, cropped a lot, but not too shabby.
I was fortunate to see a few Cuban Todys again. They are very lovely, and interesting small (about 10cm) birds.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)
Have a good weekend!
