Calopteryx virgo.
SUCH a surprise to see this male in my garden. They are restricted to fast flowing streams, and so this fleeting visit to my static pond was a real treat.
He was only here for 3 minutes at the most, which shows that it pays to have a camera on your belt all the time! Tizzy showed her macro zoom ability once more, as I was about 8 or 9 feet/2.75 mtr away.
Helu em chàng trai bé nhỏ mà chẳng nhỏ bé gì của đất Đà thành nhé :D
Phải chân thành cảm ơn CC đã để cho mấy chị em mình được hội ngộ ở đất Sài thành để rồi đất Hà thành lại là nơi tụ hội sum vậy của mấy đứa ý nhở ;)

Jared is stranger #21 in my 100 stranger project. I just met him today
thru a friend. He is 23 and comes from Dallas, Texas. He has the same birthday as Keanu Reeves (Sept 02). Check out the 100 strangers website to see more pictures and people working on the same assignment!

Messier 87 (also known as Virgo A or NGC 4486, generally abbreviated to M87) is a supergiant elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo that contains several trillion stars. One of the largest and most massive galaxies in the local universe,it has a large population of globular clusters—about 15,000 compared with the 150–200 orbiting the Milky Way—and a jet of energetic plasma that originates at the core and extends at least 1,500 parsecs (4,900 light-years), traveling at a relativistic speed. It is one of the brightest radio sources in the sky and a popular target for both amateur and professional astronomers.
The French astronomer Charles Messier discovered M87 in 1781, and cataloged it as a nebula. M87 is about 16.4 million parsecs (53 million light-years) from Earth and is the second-brightest galaxy within the northern Virgo Cluster, having many satellite galaxies. Unlike a disk-shaped spiral galaxy, M87 has no distinctive dust lanes. Instead, it has an almost featureless, ellipsoidal shape typical of most giant elliptical galaxies, diminishing in luminosity with distance from the center. Forming around one-sixth of its mass, M87's stars have a nearly spherically symmetric distribution. Their population density decreases with increasing distance from the core. It has an active supermassive black hole at its core, which forms the primary component of an active galactic nucleus. The black hole was imaged using data collected in 2017 by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), with a final, processed image released on 10 April 2019. In March 2021, the EHT Collaboration presented, for the first time, a polarized-based image of the black hole which may help better reveal the forces giving rise to quasars.
The galaxy is a strong source of multi-wavelength radiation, particularly radio waves. It has an isophotal diameter of 40.55 kiloparsecs (132,000 light-years), with a diffuse galactic envelope that extends to a radius of about 150 kiloparsecs (490,000 light-years), where it is truncated—possibly by an encounter with another galaxy. Its interstellar medium consists of diffuse gas enriched by elements emitted from evolved stars.
