The Green Darner 2012-03-15 It flew in and sat down right in front of me. Gasparilla State Park, Florida. Thanks for the comments on yesterday's shot. Yes indeed, lots of 500mm and even more, with high end cameras too. ah well, the camera doesn't make the picture, it only opens up more possibilities. The photographer makes the picture.

Shoot-out at Dawn 2012-03-14 Every morning at the Venice FL rookery - a small island in a small pond, with a path all around it. Thanks for the kind comments on yesterday's shot.
