This I.D. is with much hesitation as I find the identification process with some of the dragons very difficult. If someone finds my I.D. incorrect, correction is definately welcome! Here is a female ovipositing her eggs along a mucky edge of the pond. I was so focused on the dragonfly, I didn't see the water spider next to her (third image down). She had no problems as I placed my camera right next to her, even allowing me to move a leaf that was directly under her wings.
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!
