Tuve la suerte de que esta hembrita de Brachythemis impartita se subiera a esa ramita de pino y me ofreciera la posibilidad de hacerle esta foto.

I was lucky that this female Brachythemis impartita rose on that pine twig and offered me the possibility to make this photo.

12th February 2018:
At around lunch time the sun was out and it looked like it was here to stay (for a bit anyway). So I grabbed my camera a went for a much needed walk.
Almost as soon as I was out the clouds came over and it started raining, so I found a tree to shelter under and waited for a bit. There was enough blue sky around to give me some hope.
It cleared up and I carried on my walk, but kept it shorter than I'd have done, had the rain not started. Saw this on my way home and just liked it. The street lamps are doing some synchronised exercises, maybe they're practising for the next Olympics!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
As the third in the green stream series, I saw this small section of Rock Creek and decided that I needed to get in tight to catch this shot. Needless to say, I got wet for this shot but then if it's a mountain stream, I am usually in it. I HAD to maneuver to the right spot in order to compose this shot. I'll be the one with the wet jeans. I will say that my longer zoom was handy in this particular spot.
eDDie got a wild hare (Loveland tularemia, probably) to go specifically to Rock Creek above Allenspark to hunt wildflowers and he called me up. I have been up there several times and knew the area and the route. I am sure that he was not ready for the experience. He was astounded by the number of campers that could pack into this narrow gully by the nasty road/trail. I have not been up here since the flood but it looks like it got badly hit. The Forest Service kindly marked our parking space with a "closed for revegetation" sign. Handy! I bailed his Blazer like a flash, well at my flash speed. I was ready to shoot with my long lens. The normal zoom would have been a lot better plan. I was already busy shooting when eDDie came by on his way after wildflowers, great stuck with my stream shots and ended up with enough for a series.
Actually, Rock Creek flows more quickly down and through Ferncliff instead of toward Allenspark. There are a large number of possibilities up this creek (pronounced crick in the Rockies) and for me, it lead to the one-legged man in the trouser factory syndrome but this was easier to keep the campers from the frame. I decided, without input, to start a green stream series from the lot that I snapped. As I opened the captures, I usually feel that I left shots behind no matter where I visit, eDDie's or my venues.
After I started editing my original shots of Rock Creek, I thought of the bounty of camper cars parked up the trickle. I decided I might return with my normal zoom during the week for a massive plunder of captures.
