I keep hearing about an influx of Painted Ladies, please send some my way! :)<br /><br />The reflection photos look so restful. We had heavy rain overnight, but no thunder thankfully as Louis hates it and I'm not keen! So far no rain today...yet!ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-89548212512028976782009-05-26T08:22:40.905+01:002009-05-26T08:22:40.905+01:00Beautiful photos ~ I like how your sequence of pho...Beautiful photos ~ I like how your sequence of photos evolves through various shades and textures ~ to capture such elusive creatures at all is amazing, but in flight ~ even more magnificent!Glohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09532995590131801962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-12450791561007662522009-05-26T07:26:32.113+01:002009-05-26T07:26:32.113+01:00Mick - I've got a very mature garden now and I thi...Mick - I've got a very mature garden now and I think that helps when trying to attract wildlife.<br /><br />Chris - thank you. It was a wonderfully warm day and more like summer than spring!<br /><br />Frank - yes - other blogs are referring to the invasion of Painted Ladies; and what a wonderful way to be invaded!<br /><br />Stewart - Hi and thank you. I've no idea what the dragon is as there's not enough detail for a beginner like me to ID them. I'll have a look at Downy Emeralds though.<br /><br />The two ponds that I visit are both known breeding areas for Emerald Dragonflies although they're not normally about until late June/early July.<br /><br />Hope you find your Downies! :D<br /><br />Keith - Thank you. Golly 5 a.m. is early for flutters!<br /><br />I like trying to get flight shots of birds or dragons etc. and I'm working on the basis that "practice makes perfect"; but it's fun trying for perfection though.Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-39942818531693469222009-05-26T00:38:09.389+01:002009-05-26T00:38:09.389+01:00Some good shots from around the garden Tricia.

I saw a Painted Lady this morning, fluttering around at 5 a.m. Couldn't beleive it, thought it was way too cold that time of day.<br />The flying Dragons, well, yer putting us all to shame now. Excellent. Hard enough with birds flying, but Dragons.....<br />And the reeds and reflections, very calming.holdingmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455039696354576430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-77472516620961820482009-05-25T23:14:34.872+01:002009-05-25T23:14:34.872+01:00Hi Tricia, great photos.
