Dragonfly
Taking a short break from all my Alaska images. I don’t want to bore you to death with too many incredibly scenic images of Alaskan landscapes. ha ha.
This past weekend, we went down to Folsom Lake to have a bit of fun. It was only about 90 degrees, so it wasn’t too horribly hot and we found some shade to eat our lunch. If it was any hotter though, I wouldn’t have been able to handle being outside in it. After lunch, Tara and the kids (and the dog) swam around in the lake, and I went around looking for stuff to photograph. If you are wondering why I did not swim, there is no way you would catch me swimming in a gooey, yucky, lake, any lake. No way. I was happy to join my family there for the afternoon, but I will stay on the land thank you very much. Anyway, I couldn’t find much in the way of birds to photograph; they did not seem to want to come very near to me. That is probably mostly because my dog was running around off leash, and splashing around in the water. We were the only ones in this area, so it was cool for her to run around like that, and she had loads of fun doing so. But it also meant she had to have a bath when we got home, which she never is very thrilled about. Anyway, I struck out on the birds, but there were a lot of dragonflies flying around, so I thought I would try my hand at taking some photos of them. I saw a few of them like this one, just hanging onto a blade of grass, riding in the wind. I kinda liked this shot, taken with my 100-400mm lens.
