Hi Amila...Tis' the season for the darners! On this day, when I came home from town, I witnessed at least 20 Darners hovering around one area. Others were flying over and around the pond, I was amazed. More thrilling...I walked into the area, the various darners remained and flew about me, some directly in front of my face. I could see their basket formation as they caught their prey mid-air. This was on a clear day after two days of rain, they were all out and hungry! I had a darner land on my back shoulder briefly. I tried to look back slowly and not have my longer hair move much so I could I.D. I couldn't tell which darner it was from the angle and brief time allowed. It was time to go in and grab my camera!
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!

What a lot Darners all of a Sudden, Kim! Seems like a Darner irruption! I like the first shots showing flowers and Darners, very pretty.
Do you still have dragons flying around?
