Thanks Patrick. I did add a touch of glow to the Heron pic in post. You’re probably right on the ID of the dragonfly. I just figured it was a damselfly because this guy wasn’t half as long as the other dragonflies zipping around at the same spot. Thinking back, he’s only about 2-3 inches long.

Love the simplicity and the vibrant color. Also, the shadow and shallow DOF gives depth to the image. Like Robert I see the plants fairly often but rarely see the berry.

Yep. A terrific shot Steve.

I thought it would make a good jigsaw puzzle. 🙂

This flower is common in the area but the amount we saw at this wildlife refuge was pretty spectacular.

🙂  They really were. A big hit with which ever species of bees these were. Quite a few buzzing around.

It might be something in the allium family. The flower heads are globe shaped and look kind of like some purple alliums I’ve seen. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you Dahlia. 🙂

I appreciate your comments. Thanks. 🙂 We were a bit amazed at the amount of these daisies we saw. Acres upon acres.

Thanks Diane. We saw a variety of critters, both big and small on our walk. 🙂

What a coincidence. I’ve only seen white pelicans. 🙂

Wow! Patrick and VALERY summed it up very well.

Glad you liked it Dahlia. Thanks for commenting. 🙂

Thanks Dahlia. 🙂

Hi Judie. You’ll find lots of good info and get good advice here. Looking forward to seeing some of your work. 🙂

Thanks Patrick. Thanks Diane. 🙂
