This male skimmer was photographed around our pond on July 2, 2008. This is a common variety dragonfly, I loved watching this zebra(my word) dragonfly zooming around. He was a rather large size dragon. I have not seen him since this season.
This is my first visit to your site...I really love your photos! I work at the Botanical Gardens in Austin, TX and marvel at the giant red fuzzy dragonflies that live, I think at the lotus pond.
I, like many of you I am sure, love the beauty that nature has to offer. I am originally from the Cleveland, Ohio area..."transplanted" here to a small country town just southeast of Canton, Ohio. I thought it may be nice to share some of what I experience here everyday at what my husband and I call..Wishnik Woods. To sit on our dock and watch all the dragonflies play tag and do their acrobats for hours couldn't make me happier(but who has the time for that?). I enjoy gardening and in my photos you'll see many up close and personal shots. I thank God everyday for my husband, family and our dream come true. Our little piece of paradise is not a showplace by any means, just a simple cabin nestled back in the woods, the place we call home. In a nutshell, a little of this and a little of that is what you'll find here in Wishnik Woods!
