Look Down! Look Up! Look Down!

Shadow Darner schizophrenia is exhausting.

The male flies low, just above the water level of the stream, pauses, checks the foliage (like a fellow at a bar, looking for a likely companion), cruises on down.


The male flies high, perches way up high, almost out of camera range, rests just a moment.


And then zooms off.

Another exhausting observation, greatly enjoyed by the long-shadowed person standing, waiting, loping, zooming . . . always smiling.


(My apologies to the passing students. I am not, though you wouldn't know it from my appearance, batty.)
