Just above Abbo's Alley's small stream, two Shadow Darners flew and fought, hovering and slapping, zooming up and out and back again. Finally, one remained when the other moved upstream.
Snapping again and again to get one focused shot, I suddenly saw a mating pair of Greats on a leaf the darner punched.
Then the pair flew straight into my face and shot upwards, into a tree.
Extending and retracting my zoom, I got my shots and later posted them on the Southeastern Odes Facebook group page. Almost immediately, another expert (Ed Lam) "liked" one of my photographs, exciting me almost as much as my good luck.
It's so good to be truly home, to be truly walking, to be watching odonates again.
