Over the last couple of days we've had a major hatching of dragonflies and they've filled the skies with their darting flight.
They are also landing and resting on our garden plants. This is a juvenile Common Green Darner and it modeled nicely for me :)
A katydid stopped for a rest on my front door. This is SOOC except for some minimal cropping. He stayed on the door for at least 20 minutes while people went in and out of the door at least three times.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!
No, it's not a turkey. I haven't seen any wild turkeys lately so this resting duck will have to do :)
There is much to be thankful for, no matter what our circumstances are. An attitude of gratitude is always in season.
Here's hoping your day will be filled with family, friends, and community! God bless.

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus)
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."

This guy took a brief rest during the rut. When the rut is once in full action there’s no more time to rest…southern Denmark
I blasted my arms a bit today but here's my slipped down singlet and a nice pose for all the pit hair lovers out there

This year I really taught the Human it is ok to take a break and she deserves to rest. Here, we did so on the living room floor. You can almost always take a break anywhere!
This 6 footer was resting on a fallen tree just above a swampy area. Maybe catching what light breeze there was or.....waiting on his next meal. Taken at Occoquan refuge, Virginia
Back rested and bright eyed and bushy tailed I am starting with one of my favorite views of Haarlem which is the backside approach to the Nieuwe Kerk the scene always appears to me as a picture waiting to be captured and a fitting end to my reworks of Haarlem.
Originally there stood a cramped and falling down gothic St. Anne's chapel which the Nieuwe Kerk replaced in 1649 by Jacob van Campen’s Gothic austere design as Haarlem’s first stone built protestant church but keeping the locally designed Renaissance tower by Lieven de Key by request of the city .
This style of protestant church was designed to focus the congregants attention on the pulpit instead of the ornamentation and the outside was to represent the temple keep in Jerusalem.
The Nieuwe Kerk also served a more practical reason as well, in the winter the Grote Kerk is freezing and there is not an easy way to heat it comfortably to make it bearable for the attendees so during the colder months of the year the congregation moves into a much smaller warmer space of the New Church.
I took this on Sept 13th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 28mm 1/10 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO
Disclaimer: My style is a study of romantic realism as well as a work in progress
