Male Blue-eyed Darner dragonflies usually spend nearly all their waking hours patrolling for food or females, but on occasion will take a break and perch on cattails or other pond vegetation. I happened to catch this one briefly stretching out his abdomen (“tail”) during an unusually long break. I shot this handheld with a Sony A1 camera and 100-400mm lens while standing shin-deep in the pond.

I heard the snow geese flying overhead, quickly aimed upward, zoomed in and snapped a photo. Afterwards I noticed that everything had lined up perfectly. Taken with a Canon Powershot SX530.

Conditions looked promising for a nice sunset so and friend and I made the 90 minute drive up north to Deception Pass. Things fell into place very nicely for us as the sun dropped down where we anticipated, and there was a very nice orange tint in the sky as the sun set. Taken with a Nikon Z7 with a 150 – 600mm Tamron telephoto lens. DSC_9550.jpg
