After working Locust Point yard, the two NS Dash Eights would head back to the main and head for Philadelphia.
Along the Dash Point Beach, sits this little group of homes on the mountainside. The clouds were all over the place and the morning sun began to show itself. A moody morning water scene worth getting up for.

Three BNSF C44-9W's sit in the RRVW yard at Breckenridge, MN on a nice spring evening. I keep asking myself if it's time to get excited about H2 Dash 9's. I don't think I'm there quite yet, at least compared to how I feel about standard cab EMD's, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that there is starting to be a little bit of nostalgia about them.
I went out today looking specifically for a Black Saddlebags Dragonfly in flight. Saw not a one. But there must be 50,000 Blue Dashers and Darners at the lake. Identification was still problematic but ... this is Fred.
This guy is still my best friend.
He's getting on up there in age, but he's still happy and healthy and loved.

After a brief respite of two non-dragon/damsel images, we return to a favorite, the male Blue Dasher. Sometimes called a "dragonlet" because of its small size, it's one of the most numerous dragons here. (California only has some 46 species of dragonflies, and I'm still enthralled with them, so bear with me.)
Dashers (sometimes called Chasers in Canada) usually perch with wings extended forward and downward. Skimmers have wings extended out to the sides, and then we get into damsels... Anyway, to get a good shot of the wings, it's best to be above and pointing downward - us, not the dragon.
The season is on the downslope, and will be over in about five weeks. There may be a few male dragonflies patrolling, but they haven't a notion about what happened to the females which have either died of old age (at two weeks to six months) or have fallen prey to herons, flycatchers, fish, frogs (who jump after lying in ambush), and even another dragonfly though that is unusual in adults.
I'll be posting some wildflowers and a few birds that are showing up in between Odonates. The season is short and I have to make the most of these jewels. At the same time, I'd like to further introduce you to my various "swamps" frequented by dragons and arenas (twenty square feet of bubbling, rotting vegetation) by damselflies. So much to see, so little time...
And now today the Blue Dashers are out in my area.

Usually have a pair or two of these goldfinches at the feeders, they add a nice splash of colour. I had a Yellow Warbler in the garden tonight, no picture though, hopefully it returns when I have my camera in hand.

Winter
First snow of 2018 and I spent the morning wandering through my neighborhood of Jezyce chasing snow flurries and catching the winter atmosphere.
