Stuck Indoors!

With the snow falling all day and the thought of getting stuck somewhere in the car I spent the day at home making snowmen with the kids and snowballing anyone who got too close in the neighborhood. The snow can bring some excellent birding delights but I very much look forward to the dragonfly season this year in particular now that I actually have a much better idea on what I am looking at. With so many photos lost last year I thought I would do up a few shots from last year to pass the afternoon away.

  1. Sounds like a good day building the snowman and all. Can't wait for the summer months and hopefully all those brilliant d'flies and your equally brilliant images of them Marc.

  7. Well, as a passionate about dragons also, I appreciate this bad weather that got you to publish these!
    Everyone of those pics is gorgeous!
    Not easy to 'catch' a female Broad bodied Chaser that well!
    And if I got lovely wheels of A. juncea and Anax imperator, the Migrant Hawker wheel has eluded me up to now! :(
    You are lucky!
    The Hawker in flight is brilliant!
    Lovely to admire this stuff here!
