Felt the blues this afternoon and decided to go looking for macro shots. As I went along one of my favorite trails, I was astonished at the amount of small flowers still blooming in the cool weather.

12-spotted Skimmer

(Libellula pulchella)

Killbear Provincial Park,

Canada

Lagos, Nigeria.

Possibly a Grass Veneer of some sort, but all these things look the same to me, and my poor photography doesn't help.

This was day flying (or at least easily disturbed) in an upland habitat of mixed grass, gorse and bracken. HMM!

Schreiner Park, Junction, Kimble County, Texas

Edit By Adobe Lightroom 3
