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 :)
Resting or preparing an ambush? Phone shot by Lene.

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.

Resting but not for long , it landed
i got two shots off and it was off as well . We are a fair distance from any water , so not something we see too often . Glad to see it , just hope it makes it's way back to water quite quickly !!
The beautiful demoiselle may look like a dragonfly, but it is in fact a large damselfly. The males are metallic blue and the females green. They live on small, fast flowing rivers in the west of the UK. They can be seen flitting and fluttering over head as the male tries to attract a female with its impressive dance moves!
Male Beautiful demoiselles have dark-coloured wings and metallic blue-green bodies; females have brown wings and green bodies. The Beautiful demoiselle is similar to the Banded Demoiselle, but the males of the latter species have distinctive dark patches in the middle of their wings.
Found west of a line drawn from Liverpool to Folkestone, where it is locally abundant.
Male Beautiful demoiselles rest on bankside vegetation awaiting passing females. They use their fluttering flight as a courtship display.

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
Taken fifteen years ago, this is one of my first ever shots of a bull moose. Found him near Grand Lake, Colorado.
The last of my oldies series. I'm heading back to that area tomorrow hoping to find some of his descendants, so this is my last post for a couple of weeks.
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
Thank you in advance to everyone that comments and/or faves my picture. They are all immensely appreciated.
Laura Ellen Bacon's Course
Course is deeply curvaceous work that descends into the River Cray, a chalk stream*, at Hall Place. Being peaceful yet uncanny, having a quiet, seeping stillness but also a momentum that seems to be guiding its weight towards the clear depths below.
My lovely bicycle - he's having to take some enforced rest as I have injured my knee, but hopefully it won't be too long before I'm back in the saddle - HSoS!
