2009 SEASON BEGINS...6

SO....my damsels and dragons are back, and I'm happy. That was the good news, now the bad news...remember I ordered a book on I.D. towards the end of summer? I had every intention of studying that book front to back...all winter! Yep, you guessed it, I barely touched it. I haven't even attempted to I.D. any of my captures, yet. I thought I'd post what I do have to show before I get too far behind.

This post took 8 hours of transferring my photographs....there is no rhyme or reason in each individual post. Photos that I had grouped together .....separated out of order. I finally gave in, my apologies for this random order. This post #6 are my most current captures and then so on back towards the beginning of the season...April. The Springtime Darners were the first to appear, I was unable to photograph them. You will see a female darner depositing her eggs on and around a lily pad as you head back in these posts.









































OOOPS!...couldn't resist this close-up!
