Dragonflies are powerful and agile fliers, capable of migrating across oceans, moving in any direction, and changing direction suddenly. In flight, the adult dragonfly can propel itself in six directions: upward, downward, forward, back, to left and to right.
They have four different styles of flight: A number of flying modes are used that include counter-stroking, with forewings beating 180° out of phase with the hindwings, is used for hovering and slow flight. This style is efficient and generates a large amount of lift; phased-stroking, with the hindwings beating 90° ahead of the forewings, is used for fast flight.
This style creates more thrust, but less lift than counter-stroking; synchronised-stroking, with forewings and hindwings beating together, is used when changing direction rapidly, as it maximises thrust; and gliding, with the wings held out, is used in three situations: free gliding, for a few seconds in between bursts of powered flight; gliding in the updraft at the crest of a hill, effectively hovering by falling at the same speed as the updraft; and in certain dragonflies such as darters, when "in cop" with a male, the female sometimes simply glides while the male pulls the pair along by beating his wings.
This image was taken at La Ferme, near Franschhoek in the Western Cape of South Africa.
And to recap one more thing - the salad bar is no longer here as well, though this could be the repurposed olive bar in the foreground. Hopefully those salad and olive bars will eventually be back, but I for one am just happy that face coverings are quickly going by the wayside!

Another pic from last Monday after another evening of digging through the wardrobe. I love these shoes but it's another case of the left one being too big unfortunately. Although it might appear from this photo that its the right.

mundane high sun, silver box, gravel pile, leaning, wirey, mindless wedgie! What's better than one HOT? Two!
So let's return now to those thrilling days of yesteryear and continue my never ending fetish to capture a train in a perfect NGPN (National Geographic Pristine Nature) setting.
Today Mr Peabody has set the Wayback Machine to 8:21am at Heldt, Nebraska on September 24, 1999.
From Wikipedia: 'An over-the-counter (OTC) is a bilateral contract in which two parties (or their brokers or bankers as intermediaries) agree on how a particular trade or agreement is to be settled in the future...' Get the picture? If not, try the one above. There's a counter right there ;-)
