Every time I tried to get close enough to take "his" picture, this little dragonfly flitted away. I could have run inside for my Konica with the longer zoom, but I might have missed the shot altogether. I wouldn't have minded if he'd landed on my arm so I could have gotten REALLY close. Reminds me of how afraid I used to be of most bugs and how my childhood girfriends and I used to call dragonflies "sewing needles". Now, I'm rather fond of them since they are so colorful and often found around water. Unfortunately, my cats also love dragonflies from a catch-and-eat point of view. I've seen them leap four feet in the air to bring down a tasty snack!
I walked around Lk H last Saturday before the heat set in. This tree on the north side is loaded with fragrant flowers, but I'm not sure what it is - a Linden? Let me know if you know (click on the photo to enlarge it).
