Getting Lucky

This year, I go every day, once a day to Lake Cheston, and sometimes I get lucky.

I saw a Comet Darner today, I think.  See it?  There, in the middle?  That lozenge speeding along the lake's surface?  The cigar-shaped red thing with the green head?

And a Black Saddlebags, I think!

And my first-ever decent photograph of a dragonfly in flight.  Meet the Common Baskettail, an old fellow (the green eyes are the give-away), guarding his territory in a quiet and unassuming cul-de-sac along a shaded path.

Oh boy, am I ever lucky, and happy.
