How it feels to have wings."

blue dasher dragonfly in my wife's garden. the dark area in the upper left is a bird bath. the bright orange background is composed of orange flowers.
Yet another photo from my archives, taken on 27th August 2010, when a few of us were lucky enough to go on a day trip south of the city, to Jim Coutts' amazing homestead and gardens just east of Nanton. I LOVE his Poppy garden!
I took these on vivid and thought they were ruined but ran them through capture and changed over to neutral and low and behold this one's pretty nice. Not totally sharp on the wing but not bad for hand held.
This one was very shy. I slowly approached it over and over again only to have it fly off. Finally it let me get this close. Thanks to dragonflyriri andcotinis for the ID help.

praying mantis with recently decapitated mate on a chain link fence with morning glory vines.
I photographed this voracious lady on two successive days. On the first date the male was still connected to the female. See www.flickr.com/photos/96804954@N00/9766113251/in/photolis....
On the second day the male was gone and the female had an obviously distended abdomen. See www.flickr.com/photos/96804954@N00/10788036783/in/photoli....
After 3 weeks with no time for dragonflies, I finally had an hour for myself 2 days ago...
This year has been amazing for dragonflies. And from what I've seen... it's far from being finished !

Après 3 semaines sans avoir le temps de m'occuper des libellules, j'ai réussi à me dégager un moment avant hier. C'est une année absolument exceptionnelle pour les libellules dans la Manche, et d'après ce que j'ai vu... c'est très loin d'être fini.
A tiny, delicate flower with so many uses from edible cake decorations to perfume and medicinal purposes. In medieval Britain it was also used on love potions!
This fly seems to be blowing bubbles. You can see the reflection on my ring flash in the bubble.

I believe this is a hudsonian whiteface dragonfly. the white face is not clearly illuminated in the shot, however. It was photographed at the john jeffries house garden.

These little fellas are about 3-4mm long in the body but have huge antennae.
This little guy was shy, but on 'his' second trip over the flower, I got the shot I wanted as he peered into the garden 'abyss.' It's hard being tiny in such a big world. I can relate, it's a big universe...
