This dragonfly landed on a tree branch just ahead of me at Koll. I often see them on reeds and tall grass, but haven't seen tree
branches, 6 feet off the ground!
Any time I shoot dragonflies, my ultimate goal is to see the compound eyes, and a few of the shots of this one did reveal them (enlarge for detail)

(AKA Water) Glade Creek Grist Mill. Babcock State Park, WV.
Each of those squares out there is one compound. Out in the middle of the desert, they build a few walls and then build a house in the middle of it.
Terrific Thursday to you.

What to do on a rainy morning !!. Why not focus stack an unexpected visitor. This image was created using 10 photographs composited together using Zerene Stacker.
I used a bank of LED lights on the right hand side and a white card to the rear to bounce the light.
I used TriggerTrap to fire the camera to avoid camera shake.

Wespe
Nachdem die Wespe fast ertrunken war, blieb sie einige Zeit still in dieser Position. Das gab mir Gelegenheit für viele Makroaufnahmen. Die Augen dieser Tiere sind faszinierend.
Compound of Kenchouji as seen from the Sanmon gate. Kenchouji was originally built in 1253 but has been rebuilt several times.
The architecture in the right is Butsuden (仏殿), in which the statue of Ksitigarbha is housed. Since it was moved from a Tokugawa mausoleum, its architectural style is different from other architectures in the compound.
The one in the middle is Hattou (法堂) that is installed with the fasting Buddha and the painting of the dragon in the cloud. It is the largest wooden architecture in Kamakura completed in 1825.
Karamon (唐門) or Chinese Gate in the left is the gate of Houjou (方丈) that is the main building of the temple. The gate was moved from the same mausoleum as Butsuden. Houjou was moved from the same temple as the Soumon gate, i.e. Hanjuuzanmai'in (般舟三昧院) in Kyoto.
The building behind Hattou is Shoin (書院) or Study.

A Sympetrum striolatum from a while back. This one was a recently emerged individual, it seems that the ommatidia of the compound eye are much more apparent in teneral individuals, I still wonder what Dragon vision would be like, that's not just the compound eyes, you would have to factor in the 3 ocelli as well. I reckon a real case of sensory overload.
This was a natural light focus stack of a Darters noggin :o)

I have to say that I really like my 65mm macro lens but not all insects are happy to let you get as close as you need for things to be in focus, which is about four inches. This fly was one of those subjects that tolerated me for a bit. I find the compound eyes to be quite something especially when you can resolve to the individual ommatidia in the eye - those tiny photoreceptor cells. I'm going to have to try for some increased magnification but I suspect not on a live insect...

Thanks my dear friends for your support all the way !!!
This common lime (Papilio demoleus) butterfly was sitting on my garden compound wall drenched in the rain. Because of the damp wings he couldn't fly. After posing for me for a couple of shots he flew away as the wings became dry !!!

We made a stop at a marina along our way traveling both Highway 3A and the No. 6. After parking, I went to the end of the marina to get a photo of the very interesting wooden fence and water break.
It was then we noticed the compound fires on a distant mountain and realized the smoke we had come through was from that area.
I wanted to make the shot relevant with a blend of elements in its own structure. So, the outside of the fence along with the distant fires, combined seemingly unrelated subjects forming a more connected story.
