When I first really noticed dragonflies around 2005, it was because of one large bright red (really orange) one that seemed to rule the swamp. They would fly at great speeds (well, up to 35 mph) patrolling their overlapping territories which covered two-thirds of the lake.
For awhile it seemed I was taking photos of Flame Skimmers to the exclusion of every other species (until competition from Widow Skimmers), but their numbers were only part of the reason. The other was that they perched perfectly on blades of water grasses, at the very end of a branch, or atop my favorite, the Horsetail Grass which has a matching evolutionary period of 330 million years! If that doesn't gain your interest, well, then I'll just count myself lucky enough to discovered them in the first part of the digital age.
For Macro Monday - Flame
Not really what I wanted but a lack of time sent me to the pilot light of our heater for this weeks challenge.
Micro (macro) photographs of lit candles, showcasing the amazing art that's produced when a candle's wick burns and the candle's wax melts into incredible shapes.
The heptagon is the seven-sided shape produced, I believe, as an artifact via reflection or captured lens flare from my camera's lens.
It took me awhile to be able to expose properly for both the burning wick and the flame itself, and it's challenging to get a sharp focus as I shoot these handheld.
Click on the photo to view it large and better see the amazing details.

Ich hatte schon Fotos von zündenden Streichhölzern, Kerzenflammen und Gasflammen gemacht, dann bin ich zufällig beim Einkaufen an diesen farbigen Mini-Geburtstagskerzen vorbeigekommen. Ich liebe Farben, also alles auf Anfang. Diese Minikerzen brennen so schnell ab, dass kaum Zeit zum Fotografieren blieb. Trotzdem sind schöne Farbübergänge zustande gekommen. HMM
I had already taken photos of sparkling matches, candle flames and gas flames, then I came across these colored mini birthday candles while shopping. I love colors, so everything at the beginning. These mini candles burn off so quickly that there was not much time to took pictures. Nevertheless, beautiful color transitions have come about. HMM
Such a beautiful sunset this evening. Stunning, brilliant colors casting all kinds of cool shadows. My kind of light! :)

Thanks to my friends the Orrs I got my time with a posing dragonfly finally. Flame Skimmer, Los Angeles Arboretum.
This fire was kindled with a flame from a Cherokee Council fire that has been burning in Oklahoma since 1838. The original fire was taken to Oklahoma when the Cherokee Nation was removed west over the infamous "Trail of Tears".
In May 1951, four Eastern band of Cherokee Tribal leaders from the Qualla Boundary, North Carolina, retraced that trail of heartbreak and brought live coals from the Oklahoma fire.
The Eternal Flame here at the Mountainside Theatre was kindled from the century old Oklahoma fire on June, 23, 1951.
May this fire burn eternally as a symbol of the strength of the Cherokee People and may it honor those Cherokee who have gone before.
Got a little too close for comfort for this photo, however I feel the heat and risk of camera damage was worth it!
These photos were taken at my friend's trailer late summer this year. It was for another photography project. I had my camera on slow shutter and moved it around in random patterns. They all turned out fairly well. The last one ended up being in the shape of a cross - entirely unintentional mind you... it's pretty crazy!

On May 12 it's ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia International Awareness Day.
I am a victim of that illness myself, together with many others here at Flickr.
Therefore we will have the theme "Blue for You - ME 2021", on Saturday May 8, in my group Smile on Saturday! :-).
With this topic I would like to encourage not only the people here who suffer from that disease, but anyone who is in pain, physically or mentally.
And with my picture and the following words, I try to portray and describe what I feel and how I feel.
When pain is always present
Then life is really hard
When fear is never leaving
Then joy is far away
And yet
There is hope
There is love
The small flame of hope
The big flame of love
They keep me going
