Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! My apologies if I cannot reply to all comments. Have a great day!
This picture reminds me of long summer days playing all day with the neighbor kids. Our only rule was to be home before dark!
Time always flew by and we would do a crazy dash as a sliver of sun was still on the horizon with my 10-year-old dog chasing behind ;p
Seemed urgent at age 9 lol
A White Squirrel decides to take his dinner (walnut) up to the safety of a tree. This one has a dirty nose from rooting around on the ground to find this walnut.

Just back from "the Swamp." Nothing, nada, nil, zero, zip. Soooo. one of my last Blue Dashers in 2019. I thought I might need it for a lull, but didn't figure the lull would be as early as the last two weeks in August in northern California. I must say he was a beauty, as fresh as if he had emerged in May or June, this species prime time in this part of the state.
Using my neighbor's red brick house as background the blue dasher is showing it's blue colors.

The blue dasher is an insect of the skimmer family. It is very common and widely distributed through North America and into the Bahamas.These dragonflies, like others of their infraorder, are carnivorous, and are capable of eating hundreds of insects every day, including mosquito and mayfly larvae. The adult dragonfly will eat nearly any flying insect.

This is the place I saw the rare sinuous snaketail, BTW.
Liverpool's famous Santa Dash saw thousands of runners make their way through the city centre dressed in red and blue Santa suits.
The Liverpool Santa Dash is the biggest and longest established Santa Run in the UK and in just its second year in 2005 it received a Guinness World Record status for the Biggest Santa Gathering. Thousands of runners took part in the charity fundraiser which started at the Pier Head (4th December 2022).
The runners then made their way around a 5k course through Liverpool city centre, ending at the Town Hall where race finishers were greeted by Christmas characters and fake snow.
This photo was taken about 200m from the finishing line, I think he was getting ready to capture it for himself.
The people in the background weren't finished, they had stopped part way to watch the Batala Band before finishing the rest of the course!

If I ever wrote a book on photographing dragonflies, I would give each species a rating as to how cooperative they are in terms of photographing them. The blue dasher would receive one of the highest ratings. They like to sit on the same perch totally still and then "dash" out to catch their prey before returning to the same perch. Photographed along the pond in Chad Erickson Park, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Almost the exact opposite color of how it will look as an adult. My dragonfly ID book says blue dashers emerge right at the beginning of June in the Upper Midwest so maybe this was this beauty's very first morning. Photographed in the La Crosse River Marsh.
#CN106 passes through Brockville with another Dash 8 cowl leader sporting its classic zebra stripes. Trailing is IC Blue Devil 2462. Together, they’re working to bring their train to Montreal without any delays.
Don´t you like that great green color? It is like the renaissance of life, always struggling against time and weather...
