This weeks finalists.

We believe this is an Emperor Dragonfly. It's the first one we've seen. The rest are odds
and ends taken over the past week or so.

  13. Wow - I wonder why it took me so long to find this blog. Excellent content and quality photographs. Thank you for the comments on my blog. I have added your site to my bloglist.

    I am currently pondering whether to simply drop using a set theme for any blog update and rather (like yourselves) add numerous photographs. Decision time for me.

    I really enjoyed the post (previous) which included the stages of the ladybird. I definitely learnt something between yourselves and Joan (the bug lady).

    Great collection once again. The colour combination of the Azure damselfly is just incredible, almost robotic look.
