Early Morning Skimmer by cjwhite

Early Morning Skimmer

I went out early this morning to try to avoid the heat. This Widow Skimmer was the first thing I saw. I walked through waist high weeds for about twenty minutes following this guy around. I was so excited, I really didn't think about snakes until later. LOL! I have the 365 to thank for that! :0)

I am putting a different view in my other album. :0)

Thank you for your views, comments, and faves! They are very much appreciated! :0)

Beautiful shot. You're getting really brave with those snakes. I must admit I never think of them until the deed is done, either. When I'm in pursuit of a photo nothing else matters!

Beautiful photo! You should find some salamanders...I was thinking of looking for some...so cute. They live under logs in the woods where it's damp.

Great photo! I know what you mean about not thinking of the snakes... I do the same thing....bug bites, sore knees, walking through snakes and spider webs....the things we do. You got a good pic out of it though..so it was worth it!

You are braver then me I certainly wouldn't be roaming around in waist high grass here. But your efforts have been rewarded. Great shot.
