BNSF Topeka Sub Fleeting
Over the last few days, the BNSF has rediscovered the ability to run westbounds down the Topeka Sub, thanks to MOW windows on the Emporia Sub. Combine that with my complete lack of anything on the calendar, and I've been able to get out to shoot a number of them. I'd love for these to continue, but I know that it's short-lived. Regardless, you've gotta shoot it while you can!
Here, the BNSF 608 hustles a westbound manifest down the line at Herschell Rd., between Tecumseh and Lecompton, KS.

These are the blocks that I was working on collecting orange fabric for. They are 6 inch Churn Dash Blocks.
I can't decide if I want to keep the quilt as Pink, Red, and Orange or also add in the yellow. Any suggestions?
I'm also still thinking about if I want the Orange (and the yellow) to only be the "Churn Dashes" or if I should also use the orange(yellow) as the background too in some blocks. I did two blocks where they were the background. Haven't decided yet!

Ponce de Leon claimed Florida for Spain in 1513. (Christopher Columbus discovered North America in 1492 but actually landed in the Bahamas). Other Spanish explorers later found gold and silver in Mexico and Peru. The treasure was sent back to Spain in ships sailing in the Gulf Stream. Spanish settlements needed to be built in Florida to protect the Spanish Treasure fleets. King Phillip II of Spain sent Pedro Menendez to settle in Florida and drive out French garrisons recently established there. In September 1565, Pedro Menendez with 700 soldiers and colonists landed 'here' and founded St. Augustine making it the oldest continually occupied European settlement in North America ~ Saint Augustine Inlet
An impromptu photo session with this torpid Blue Dasher that sat motionless on one of my orchid spikes in my backyard.

Thanks so much for your visit..!

While trying to locate a bullfrog that was croaking loudly, I ran across quite a few dragonflies most of which were either pondhawks or blue dashers. I am not great at the identification of dragonflies so let me know if I made a mistake.
Mientras que buscaba una rana toro que croaba alto, se me econtraban varios caballitos del diablo la mayoria de los cuales era o rayadoras azules o rayadoras del este. No soy bueno para identificar los caballitos del diablo de modo que si me equivoco, déjamelo saber.
The quilt project for this month. Need to finish by Tuesday so I'd better get with it. Tried to do a framing using photoshop. Next time I'll try it without the grid to see if I can get 3 sides even. Lots to learn--lots to do.
Lacking variety of species, I've been going for background and perches with skimmers and dashers. To get gray, I've looked for rock rather than water behind the subject (though much of the swamp's water is green). I usually have to go to different parts of the large pond than I would for damselflies, and that was the case here where, after a few years of paying attention, I find that the Blue Dasher loves horsetail grass as a perch. It had been almost 10 days since seeing one, but here he was, spanking new from the looks and color of him.
The blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is the only species in the genus Pachydiplax. It is very common and widely distributed through North America, and certainly loves this part of northern California. Blue dashers live near still, calm bodies of water, such as ponds, marshes, slow-moving waterways, and ditches, in warm areas typically at low elevations. The adults roost in trees at night.
These dragonflies, like others of their infraorder, are carnivorous, and are capable of eating hundreds of insects every day, including mosquito and mayfly larvae. The adult dragonfly will eat nearly any flying insect, such as a moth or fly. Nymphs have a diet that includes other aquatic larvae, small fish, and tadpoles.These dragonflies are known to be voracious predators, consuming up to 10% of their body weight each day in food. I know this is some old information, but as old and interesting as Odonates are, I'm limited in information and my personal memory may be reaching the point where I have to pay Mother Nature for a continued subscription (as seems to be the case with everything else nowadays).

A rainy day in Washington DC.
Central Heating Plant, Washington, DC:
a crumbling network of old utility tunnels under Capitol Hill connects 24 government buildings to the Capitol Power Plant. The original tunnels (marked above with yellow dashes) were excavated in 1908 to supply steam and electricity to new congressional office buildings and the recently completed Library of Congress.
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.

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...
This guy is still my best friend.
He's getting on up there in age, but he's still happy and healthy and loved.
The blue dasher (Pachydiplax longipennis) is a dragonfly of the skimmer family. It is common and widely distributed in the United States.[1]
Mature males develop a bluish-white pruinescence on the back of the abdomen and, in western individuals, on the thorax. They display this pruinescence to other males as a threat while defending territories at the edge of the water.[2]
Mature male with blue-white abdomen and thorax
Although the species name longipennis means "long wings", the wings are not substantially longer than those of related species. Females do, however, have a short abdomen that makes the wings appear longer in comparison.[1] The blue dasher grows up to 25–43 mm long. Juvenile males will show female coloration before they turn blue. Females are paired with yellow stripes on the dorsal side of the first 8 abdominal segments, the part of the body that lies between the thorax and the pelvis and encloses the stomach, intestines, liver, spleen, and pancreas; more commonly known as the belly. Females are also reported to turn blue, but at a slower rate then the males

Dash turns nine today. Which means in dog years he's basically as old as me! Way old!
He's been a great dog, friend, and travel companion. I'm so thankful that he's in my life.
This shot is with flash. The next is without and I can't decide which I like better. It looks like he is smiling in a smug sort of way.
