Green Dragon by cjwhite

Green Dragon

I got to make a quick trip to the Greenway this afternoon. I was very excited to find some friendly dragonflies. This is a female Green Pondhawk.. I had to lean over a railing to get this shot. I wasn't too worried about my camera, but I did think I was going to lose my glasses! I don't know if we would ever be able to find them if they fell in the murky, swamp water. Jeff would have to go in for them. He saw another snake today. I'm glad I missed it. He said it was bigger than the ones we saw last week!

I put a pic of a male Pondhawk in my extra album.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!!! They always make my days so much better! :0)
still cool!

Really cool. I have never seen this species before and I like the comment about the wax lips. That is what they look like in the other photo.

@nikkers You can still find the lips in places that sell vintage candies. I feel bad that you never got to experience the waxy goodness! LOL! :0)
