It's Friday, TGIF! Today's image is one I was able to capture recently of a neat looking Dragonfly. It is appropriate to the month as it is, apparently, a Halloween Pennant Dragonfly. It gets that name from it's coloration. It enjoys perching on top of a plant and swaying like a pennant in the breeze. I chose this image for today due to the lovely bubbly bokeh in it as Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog!
While out for a walk close to a pond one day, the same one I captured the Heron at, I tried to capture Dragonflies in flight. I thought that this picture turned out pretty well.
It's Friday, TGIF! There have been some Dragonflies and Damselflies at my Gazebo pond lately. I was able to capture this Damsel with some lovely bokeh provided by water drops on leaves behind. Sharing for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog!
It's Friday, TGIF! Today's image is one that I just got from my pond this past week. This Dragonfly was nice enough to sit a bit for a photo in a spot with some great bokeh. Sharing this image for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
It's Friday, TGIF! Today's image is one I hope to be taking soon. This is a Dragonfly in my Gazebo pond on a reed. I believe the Dragonfly is a Blue Dasher It has a few bokeh bubbles in it which I really like so sharing it for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!
I have not seen these as of yet, it's still early though. This is an Ebony Jewel-wing Damsel. I love their green body color and the shape of their wings. Lovely little damsels that are fun to watch. They seem to like moving streams quite a lot.
I am looking forward to seeing these around the pond again this summer. I took this image of this Twelve Spot Dragonfly on a flower stalk near the garage though. It was a non common occurrence of capturing a dragonfly away from the pond.
I felt for a summery picture today, I am tired of winter. This is a Dragonfly that I captured on a Pickerel Rush leaf this past summer. Looking forward to sights like this again this summer.
It's been very cold here already, down in the teens and it is only early November. Not happy. We are supposed to be warming up a bit for a while but it will probably go the opposite way and be too warm. Never seems to be a happy medium. Anyway, I will miss seeing flowers and nature around until next spring. I captured this Dragonfly early last summer and will miss seeing these and Damsels around too. I believe this may be a Common Whitetail but it's body is not white so not sure.
Happy Friday, TGIF! Today's image is of a Damselfly with big blue eyes perched on a reed in my Gazebo pond. I chose this image for today because of the lovely bokeh because Friday's are Bokehlicious!
Todays image is one I took earlier this year. This is a Blue Damselfly that had a look at me while took it's photo. It was sitting on a leaf over at the Gazebo Pond and stayed still for a portrait.
Bike riding allows for opportunities for photos. I bought a better chest harness for my DSLR which makes it easier to bring it along with me. Having my regular camera allows for photos like this. There is a stream that I ride by every now and then that is a good place to find Ebony Jewelwing Damselflies like this one. While phone cameras have improved I still get the best images from my actual camera.
While I was in Minnesota I saw an abundance of Dragonflies and Damselflies. There is something about that area that they love. I was able to capture one of the sharpest Blue Damsel photos I have ever taken, this one. I love all the little hairs on them that you don't really notice all the time.
I was very surprised to see Damselflies at my pond already. It was pretty warm out a week ago or so and there were several flying about around the Cattails and Iris that were coming up. I was able to capture this one while it paused for a bit. I loved the light on the wings.
Today's image is one I captured while on a bike ride last summer. There is a spot where I can rely on seeing Jewelwing Damsels. It is by a creek and I captured this one perched on a leaf above it.
It's Friday, TGIF! Today's image is a subject that I love to photograph and usually provides some great bokeh. Bokeh is important today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious! This is a 12 Spot Dragonfly once again showing off why it has that name. 😊
This is a Twelve Spot Dragonfly, one of the few that I find easy to identify. This one was being rather cooperative for me sitting on a rock that borders one of my gardens.
Today's post is of one of the Dragonflies that visited my pond this year. They did not seem to stay around as long this year but I was able to capture a few of them while they were there. I liked the light on this one. Dragonflies are hard to ID for me. I believe that this is a Blue Dasher.
I captured this neat guy at my Gazebo pond last Sunday. I had never seen this variety before. I love it's blue eyes. Not sure what type Dragonfly it is or it might even be a Damselfly.
