We took a walk to Heather Farm Reserve, aka "The Swamp," yesterday and expected nothing. That's what we got save for the first damselfly of the year. That's still too early because we still have very cool mornings. The damsel was a solid black, and I couldn't identify her. The water's too low and she won't find a mater, so I'm afraid her above water life span will be less than three weeks.
This is NOT a damsel, but a Flame Skimmer Dragonfly, our most frequent flier and the one I'll be looking for to know that the season is truly open. As I walk around the lake with a camera, people assume that I know something, and the most frequent question is not about birds, but dragonflies. I'm going to have to start brushing up for this year. I certainly have the time.
Thanks to my friends the Orrs I got my time with a posing dragonfly finally. Flame Skimmer, Los Angeles Arboretum.
a tree that I would love to be able to climb during the height of Autumn
and just witness the colour extravaganza.
seen four years ago on this day.

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.” Bruce Lee
Flame Towers is a trio of skyscrapers in Baku, Azerbaijan, including the tallest in the country, with a height of 182 m. Towers symbolize the long history of fire worshippers that considered Azerbaijan as a birthplace for the prophet Zoroaster.
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.
Put on a fire the other night & the flame designs reminded me of hot violin music! LoL! Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who are celebrating... have a green beer on me =)
EXPLORE-D!
This looks like a hybrid of the basic US native orange ("flame") azalea. It is much brighter than usual and the flowers are in lush clumps. Pretty against this woody lounge area on the UNC Asheville campus on a dull day. University (Ramsey) library in the background.
Latin plant name: Rhododendron calendulaceum.
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!

Libellula saturata -- male
The preferred perch at this location was a foot or two above the ground on some small shrubs. Two to three male dragons sought to control the site.

Seconde capitale de Sri Lanka après la destruction d'Anuradhapura en 993, Polonnaruwa comprend, à côté des monuments brahmaniques élevés par les Cholas, les restes monumentaux de la fabuleuse cité-jardin créée au XIIe siècle par Parakramabahu le Grand.
Ce palais, bâti par Parakrama Bahu comptait 7 étages et 1000 pièces, reposant sur plusieurs centaines de piliers peints, rayonnants de motifs de fleur et de plantes grimpantes. Il fût détruit par un incendie, seuls deux étages de cette magnifique demeure ont échappé au flammes. Tout autour, les maisons des serviteurs.
