STVest Loc: LA - that's Lower Alabama
 
Yesterday was breezy. Today it was bona fide WINDY! Even though deadwood and small limbs were still being blown out of the trees, I began gathering up the fallen and adding it to the front-yard burn pile. I'm so glad I did! This is where all the dragons have been hanging out. They were struggling to hang on to their perches but there was an occasional second's break in the wind and I managed to get some shots that were not a total blur. Hubby tells me the back-yard burn pile is also rife with dragons - maybe I'll shoot back there tomorrow instead of picking up limbs! There were SO MANY dragons!! Yay!!!

Such pretty, colorful dragons, Sherry, and you've captured them beautifully. So glad you found them and took advantage of the opportunity to shoot them. The downloads are a must!

Sherry, excellent set of photos. You are blessed to have so many. We have been starved for both dragons and butters.

Now I know why our dragon supply has been so puny this year. They've all been hanging out at Sherry's burn piles. What a collection of beauties, Sherry, and your shots are excellent. Send me that hot pink one!
