Dragonfly

St. Charles Parish, Louisiana

Couldn't decide what to take a picture of today so I went looking for the small creatures in my yard.



I had a piece of mail today - it was a catalogue, nothing great, but wonderful to see the mailman pass. The rest of the mail hasn't caught up yet, but I'm sure it is not far behind. The lines are still long at the stores, but the local Walmart had all of the normal items. It was wonderful to be able to buy a roast and some chicken without having to drive an hour away. We still have pockets of power outages in the area and the phone service is still not stable, but it is getting better.

Canon PowerShot A95
1/100s f/4.9 at 23.4mm full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I'm glad things are looking up. This is a wonderful picture with his wings showing so clearly against the light background. It's so nice to be able to look at your pictures again.

Another photo that there is hope of things returning to normal. He's probably resting after finally finding a place to land. Great detailed close up.

This is truly an amazing image, Elaine. It got my vote. It is so wonderful to see you posting and to see the critters in your yard. Proof that time will heal, much time, I am sure, but so reassuring. Love to all.

over the engine mount.
Remarkable!
