About Me
- spookydragonfly
- Carroll County, Ohio, United States
- 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!

Sweet lighting on the first one, Kim. Natural light photography of dragonflies as opposed to flash photography is something that I am now trying to do more often. Picking the hottest times of the day helps. How about you?
Hi Amila...Thank you, I always photograph in natural light, perhaps my images would've improved had I used a flash. I agree that the most opportune time for quantity of dragons is mid-day. Of course, I do prefer a slightly overcast day, to avoid the harshness and glare of the bright sun.
In answer to your question on my previous post which I neglected to respond...I do have some Meadowhawks and Darners out. This week the temps. are droppping extremely low, with freezing rain. It'll be interesting to see who is still around next week.
