Everything's Ducky

Some people take a bath on Fri in prep for the Mariposa Folk Festival 

(suitably blurred so as not to be offensive)
Before the bath - desperation - kinda like me ?

Black and white.
Deep into the pores:

But the results are worth it:

Mind you for those who come late ...

It is difficult to get squeaky clean.

Photos taken yesterday at the Langman Sanctuary or downloaded from Rosetta.

Thr Dragons have returned

Old friend of 50 years, Doug, and I went for a couple of short-distance walks on Sunday, Doug to see birds, I to find (?) birds for Doug.  We took lots of photos.

Here are a few I took of dragonflies.

First along the rail trail south of #12:

Note how the feet are folded forward to catch prey:

I wondered who was going to catch whom:

It was difficult to get them to stay still:

We also went over to the Langman sanctuary for other dragonflies:

Can anybody ID this bird for me!

Have a great week.
