They Are Back

Check out this female Widow skimmer. I love dragonflies. They are so cool and when you get the photo just right, you can see amazing details in their wings and head. This one is not in perfect focus, but I still was happy to see one. It is that time of year.

Last Of The Skimmers

The top photo is one of the last of a female Widow Skimmer of the 2021 summer. I think there could be a few left, but I am not them now. I want an extention of summer.

The second shot if a male. They were not far apart when I took these photos .. who knows.

Skimming!

I am still capturing photos of Widow Skimmers. I am seeing less of them, but when I see one, they seem to attract my lens.

A Flying Carnivore

Check out this cool looking Widow Skimmer. They are one of the group of dragonflies, also known as King Skimmers (Wikipedia).

I love this photo for other reasons too. This guy is having lunch. It looks like a fly but it certainly is an insect. I guess like me, he is a carnovore, or at leat protein based. Part of the circle of life.
