I wanted to capture some more pictures of Dragonflies. They are such beautifully amazing creatures. I still haven’t replaced that Canon camera I wrote about a week or so ago. It works fine, I just have to always make sure that there aren’t any spots on the sensor, which is done by flicking it, ha. I think because of that my macro auto focus is messed up, which makes it hard to focus on little things up close. I tried and tried to get some good shots.

While observing the dragonflies, I noticed that they actually have a type of wiper that is above their eyes on both sides of their head. It reminded me of a windshield wiper on a car. It would randomly wipe across their their eyes. They have pretty huge eyes as well. I guess it makes sense that they would have those since their eyes are actually so huge! They are really beautiful.

The last picture of one that I posted last week was gold and black. The ones I saw today were light blue and black, and some were green and black.

It was very hard to get them to trust me. I took so many shots, but very few came out decent. I didn’t get the ones that I wanted, or hoped to get though.

I have no idea what type of bug this is. There were a few of them in the pool, so I saved them. This bug actually had a baby spider on it, and some little nat like bug. The baby spider happily hopped off the weird bug onto me, and I let it climb onto a leaf in a tree.

Oh yeah, and speaking of spiders, I saw this one laying in a flower, waiting for its prey

This grasshopper was looking at me funny, so I had to snap a picture of him.

ha, that’s pretty much it. Photography day I guess
