Mother nature is cooperating big time lately.The dragonflies love to pose around the tomato plants and my Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are busting out with thousands of small buds that will eventually be 4" flowers.It's a great time of year here in the NorthEast.--charliezap









My grand kids call my yard Jurassic Park.

This should be a sea of blue by the middle of next month.

The buds have started.There are 1000's growing all over.

Hi Charlie,
Great photo series, those dragonflies look like alien creatures up close. Beautiful colors, rendering, sharpness...let's see, what else? Everything!
Which series Pentax 100mm Macro are you using?

Great detail on those Dragonflies - we don't see the red ones here . Good luck with the blooming glories

Well done Charlie.

Nice shots Charlie. My morning glories are blooming, but by time I get out they are already closing up for the day.

Thanks guys.
Nature supplies the subjects.I just trip the shutter and hope for the best.--charliezap

Actually, Dave, we have these White-faced Meadowhawks here in Prince George so I think you will find them around your area in Edmonton. We start to see them in mid to late summer.
