Tons of white-faced meadowhawk dragonflies live on the tiny island in a friend's small pond. They appear to spend quite a bt of their time catching and eating mosquitoes, which I think this one is poised to catch here in this photo.Also on the island, moving clockwise from the dragonfly: a feather caught in a small bush, joe-pye-weed still in bud, plantain, cattails, and goat'sbeard seedhead.

Quite excellent EG, you do a great job with nature photos. MB
Those so-called weeds all look the same. I guess location doesn't change their physical appearance like it does people.
a splendid mosaic; I adore the color of this dragonfly; here they are blue
Very cool dragonfly, and the other shots are great! Very nicely done...
Anything that eats mosquitoes would be welcome in our garden. Wonderful collection of shots.

Wonderful collage--again you must have had me in mind when you took them;)
Lovely pictures one and all. I'm partial to the red dragonfly (I've never seen one that is red) and the plantain. It almost looks like a nice flower!
Oh so lovely! It has been a crazy weekend. But I am back. Have a great day!
Gorgeous shots! Lovely collection ~ perfect for the cover of a nature journal.
Hi, would you mind emailing me (see my home page) with your contact info for Mrs. Nesbitt. She is setting up a separate page for the next round of ABC Wednesday and needs to send you an invitation. Thanks.
Fabulous collage!! That dragonfly is AWESOME!!
Amazing photos!

Great stuff, EG!
Joe-pye-weed... what a great name for a plant!
We used to have plantain battles.... just loop the stem round the neck of the flower... take aim... ready, steady, FIRE!
These are real beauties, never mind weeds
