Juvenile Little Blue Heron, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida. With their patchy white-and-blue appearance, Little Blue Herons in transition from the white first-year stage to blue adult plumage are often referred to as calico.
(The cat with the most tales becomes next year's chairman.)

Several "Local cats" live in the Takashima Suisaisen Park in Minatomirai, Yokohama. They live on the food of their neighbors.
They can't run away when they see people, but they can only be the ones who feed them.
They don't run away when they see strangers, but they aren't touched by anyone but the people who take care of them.
"Local cats" do not have a specific owner like "stray cats", but they differ from "stray cats" in that the local residents officially recognize them and take care of food and medical care.
I was leaning way out over a bank to capture an image of this spectacular dragonfly almost directly below me. This is a Calico Pennant, Celithemis elisa, a fairly common dragonfly found in the eastern half of the United States.
Maple Flats – Big Levels, Augusta County, Virginia. July 12, 2015.

A calico cat has a coat that is 25% to 75% white with large orange and black patches (or sometimes cream and grey patches). They are exclusively female except under rare genetic conditions. This one, named Patches, is a friend's cat napping in its basket by a sunny window just after eating a snack.
HMM- had literally dozens of possibilities
but this one made me smile :)
(this portion is approximately 2inches by 2 and 1/8th inches)

see the picture in the first comment box for the one i really wanted to use, but i hadn't measured so didn't feel i could
Didn't get a lot of flower pictures at the botanical garden the other day but some good dragonfly shots ;-)
Just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip is a place far more edifying and colorful, the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is home to magnificent geology, a wide array of flora and fauna, and accessible hiking at all levels.
female Calico pennant - at the wetlands, North Georgia
Only a handful of Calico's turn up at the wetlands every year. And so far I've seen one Halloween out there. Stay safe if you're in the path of the storms. Our heat wave continues ...
Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
A break from butterflies today - here's a male Calico pennant from early this season. Looks like he's got a sprinkling of pine pollen. Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
Calico pennants are our earliest flyers in late Spring, and now I'm seeing both tenerals and adults at a few locations. Some odes do make a biannual (I think there's a better term) appearance - mostly damsels. Good to see these in any case.
>> This guy was in the wildflower fields at Gibbs Gardens last Friday ... other Calico's were flying at Lathem reservoir. North Georgia
How many odes will still be flying after 2 weeks of November temps and rainy weather? Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
