and walked to Cave Springs
for our weekly Pond Watch.
We were greeted by lots of Dragonflies.
This is a male Widow Skimmer.
I have yet to be able to identify
this Dragonfly for sure.
I do believe he is the Spangled Skimmer.
The female Eastern Pondhawk perched for her photograph!
This dragonfly is the Blue Dasher.
A male Eastern Pondhawk finally landed.
My husband saw a female Ebony Jewelwing.
I went to where he had seen her but she was gone.
I am so happy they are nearby.
We heard some splashing.
On the shore a Green Heron was fishing.
His crest was raised when we first spotted him.
We saw a Black Saddlebags but he never stopped flying.

Dear Sherry,
Doesn't it make your heart sing when you find so much life near water.
I love the dragons....they are such magical looking creatures.
They shimmer, and shine in the sunlight.
I am sure, with time, you will become an expert on these beautiful creatures.
Wonderful dragonfly pictures!
so many treasures~
our ponds are active with bugs, but not dragonflies or frogs yet, well just a couple. wishing you a lovely week.
