Year of the Dragon

This is the first summer that I've been able to get pictures of Dragonflies. I have to thank Gallicissa for telling me that if I put some sticks in the ground they would likely land on them. He was right. I do get overly excited when I see one land, I suppose I'll get over it sooner or later, lol.

It's been hot and muggy, don't know how long it's going to last but I'm enjoying it. I've been searching around for spiders as I do like taking pictures of them but alas, no luck yet. There are webs around but guess the spiders are hidden.

A pair of crows were here last evening with a young one. Funny sound the young make, they haven't quite got the "caw" right yet. Lovely to see the family though.

Just got these pictures this morning. Click on photos to get the big picture.




And Roses have started to bloom.
