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.

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.
I actually had already posted a photo of these a long time ago but recently was re-taking photos of some of my jewelry. These were part of those retakes. I think this photo shows off the colors much better than the previous one. I also decided to change the name of them from Snow Queen to Icy Blue since I think it fits them much better.
