@Roberta,
Here's another dragonfly picture:

No, it’s not photoshopped

“It looks like a Pixar character,” said the 34-year-old. “It let me put my phone right against it. I didn’t notice the smiley face at the time " it wasn’t until afterwards when I saw the pictures.” Steve Prentice, of the British Dragonfly Society, has said that the female Southern Hawker’s smiley face comes from the ‘frons’ " the frontal area of the insect’s head, above the mouth parts.

@caribou,
Indigo Bunting.
I would love to see one of these birds. K has, in his own back yard. I'm so jealous, guess I need to hang out there more often.

dj, What a stunning little bug.

Robert, That smiling bug is beautiful. Like the panda too.

Caribou, The birds take my breath away, especially the falcons in their swoop. Is the image of the ducks a photograph? It could be a painting.

@Roberta,
Last time I sat in a snowbank for seven hours, I awoke to one of these staring at me, while loudly crunching the sugar beets.

@alex240101,
Alex, Should I ask why you were sitting in a snowbank for seven hours. Nice to wake up to company.

@Roberta,
Roberta, the buck was too beautiful. The difficult part was, explaining to my brother in law, how I didn't get a shot off, while he was staring at all the tracks.

@alex240101,
Alex, Just tell him you were abducted by aliens and wasn't there when the tracks were made. Sounds plausible to me. Thanks for the floppy-eared bunny.

@Roberta,
From a distance... my hands failed me horribly - but these litlte ones made me think of our Boida and Alex... my friends with nature...

there's a few, I couldn't pic - they were so sweet, so fast... I needed them today, tho they were too far from me...or I was too far from them for close shots.

Blues and Greats... I believe
