...and better viewed large.
Good morning. Just a single posting today of a pic I should probably have posted on Thursday with the series I did on the male Common Pondhawk (Erythemis simplicicollis), which you can find at the below link for those of you that might have not seen it...

This is my one and only good in-flight dragonfly shot, something I'm normally horrible at. And I did all things you shouldn't do when taking an in-flight shot such as use a tripod, a relatively slow exposure setting, and using auto-focus. But at the time, I just re-acted to an opportunity that I didn't think would play-out long enough to do anything else. That was to get a shot shot of this male I happened upon that was hovering in a circle over a oviposting female. Fortunately I got lucky in spite of doing all the wrong things, which is all that one can ask at times.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a great Saturday and weekend.

This is a pretty mediocre image, but look closely at the eye. You can see the pupil.
I thought that was cool
Hand held with massive zoom. What is great about this camera is the incredible IS.
..and of course the 5 frames per second with autofocus, which I used here. 1/100th of a second, I know I should have tried for faster, but not too bad for hand held!

The sunrise this morning was blocked by thick clouds, and it gave the beach a sort of blue tone.
I just read Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut so I could not resist the title.
How much fun can you have with some water, Fairy Liquid, torch and food colouring then blow some bubbles.
學 名: Hypothymis azurea
英 名: Black-naped Blue Monarch
黑枕藍鶲（染布鳥）體長十五公分，為台灣特有亞種。雄鳥全身以鮮藍色為主，後頭有一黑斑，前頸下有一黑色細橫帶。背部略帶灰色，腹部以下為灰白色，上嘴基部內側黑色，腳黑色。雌鳥頭至頸部為灰藍色，上嘴基部內側黑色，背部大致為灰褐色。分布於全島各地山麓至低海拔山區的常綠闊葉樹林，為普遍的留鳥。常發出宏亮似「回！回！回！」之連續叫聲。黑枕藍鶲棲息於平地至低海拔之次生林及闊葉林。常單獨或成對活動，棲息於枝椏濃密且蔓藤糾結之密林中。繁殖期則成雙確保其領域。覓食時常棲於樹梢，飛行捕蟲動作靈活，令人嘆為觀止。黑枕藍鶲性機警且好動，因此不易很清楚的觀察，較容易看見的場地環境以果園或山坡的竹林，主要在於食物充足。
The Black-naped Monarch or Black-naped Blue Flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea) is a slim and agile passerine bird belonging to the family of monarch flycatchers. They are sexually dimorphic with males having a distinctive black patch on the back of the head and a narrow black half collar while the female is duller and lacks the black markings. They have a call that is similar to that of the Asian Paradise Flycatcher and in tropical forest habitats pairs may join mixed-species foraging flocks.
