Finally

It's been a while since I've been out enjoying the world around me. Finally got a chance yesterday afternoon for a few minutes with the kids and managed a few odes.

Blue Dashers (Pachydiplax longipennis) were numerous along the edge of Semmes Pond on Fort Jackson. I was able to get some decent photos.

I also noticed some Eastern Pondhawks (Erythemis simplicollis). The Female was pretty easy, but this apparent male has me puzzled because it's appendages appear dark, when they should be white.

Finally, I caught a picture of an Orange Bluet (Enallagma signatum) just as it started to rain and we hopped on our bikes and made our way home.
