13. Dragonfly on Birdsfoot Trefoil

Dragon Fly on Birdsfoot Trefoil

This is a dragon fly resting on a piece of Birdsfoot Trefoil.  Photographed early in the morning, the dragonfly and flower are still covered in dew.  It is hard to see in this size, but I am picking up reflections of the sky in the dew drops.

This photo was obviously not shot recently :)    I will be mixing recent photos along with photos from last year that did not get post, though should have during my bouts of non posting. Feel free to comment on some of the photos.

07. How Many Eyes Did You Say?

An extreme closeup of a Green Darner’s head. This is a great example of the compound eyes these little hunter’s have for snatching pesky mosquito’s out of the air so much better than we can.
