Catch of the Day 7-10-20

Went out to my favorite boggy area this morning with camera in hand. Most of the water has gone down and the burst of wildflowers were few compared to times past however there are hopes that they will return and attract more critters. I sprayed and doused so I came home tick and chigger free which is the best part of the outing.

Nice to be out, isn't it?
Good sampling of what a short walk can produce.
I need to cull and post a couple of what I considered interesting at the time.
Thanks for the impetus.
Night, Gary, all.

Thanks, Bill. It was quite breezy today and my mission was to try a few things with the gear.

Beautiful set Gary. Of course I'm partial to your fine dragon shots.

Thanks, Doc. I've learned a lot about them from your work and posts. I've noticed that they are aware of my presence and they are quite curious. When I see them on their lookout perch and they fly away, I sit very patiently and most often they will return to the same spot where I am ready with the camera.

That's the trick. Wait, focus on the perch and wait for them to return. Many times when I get to a site they are quite wary but seem to ignore you if you move slowly of just sit.

Very nicely done, sippy. Glad you got off with no parasites on this trip.
Thanks, Kpmac. Make me itch once, shame on you chigger. Make me itch twice, shame on me. No ticks either...at least none that I have found yet.

Thanks, Doc. After watching them for a while I can almost understand what they must be thinking which is, "Humm...I wonder what that big thing looking at me would taste like?"...."Probably like chicken!".
