Poser

I posted a female Widow Skimmer back on May 27. This is a male Widow Skimmer. This guy kept flying around me today. He would land and as soon as I had him in focus, he would fly away. Twice, I walked away from him frustrated and both times he started flying close to me again. He landed on this dried stalk of grass long enough for me to finally get a decent pic.

Today was Jeff's last day of vacation. I feel bad that I was sick for most of it, but we did have fun yesterday at the Greenway. We chose to be totally lazy for his last day at home. :0)

Thank you so much for stopping by my project!!!

It was definitely worth getting the shot. Very pretty.

These are such neat guys - I love to follow them. You got a really good shot on this one - Around here he'll keep coming back to the same twig so I just stay focused there and wait - and sometimes wait. Yours doesn't even look very damaged by the long hot summer. Some I've seen are getting pretty ragged. Glad you're feeling better!
