I'm very happy there are a lot of dragonflies here at Lake Kashagawigamog right now because they eat mosquitoes and there are LOTS of mosquitoes here also.
Nice on black if you have time.
Well! Say that lake name three times, fast! You could put up some Purple Martin gourds on a pole, they would help you with your 'skeeter problems. You might start a new "getting rid of mosquitos with gourds" movement!
What a fantastic shot of this dragonfly - especially on black. And yes, what a name for a lake ... it's taken me a while to say it out loud correctly!!!
@louannwarren@henrir@dawnee@lynnz@jamibann I had to chuckle when I read your comments on the lake name Kashagawigamog (KA-SHAG-A-WIG-A-MOG) because it took me about a week to be able to say it out loud without hesitating between each syllable...and that was with a lot of practice. Lake Kashagawigamog is one of the largest lakes in the Haliburton, Ontario area and it gets its name from the Native Anishnaabeg word for "long and winding waters".
Thank you all for your wonderful comments. :-)
@Weezilou I certainly wish I could send you some dragonflies and I truly wish there were as many at our cottage on Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba as there are here at Lake Kashagawigamog in Ontario. I've come to accept the fact that mosquitoes are going to be plentiful when staying at the lake and whenever I step outside I must be covered in "Off! FamilyCare Insect Repellent", my favorite and one that actually works well for me. I have to admit, it's quite frustrating when I have to prepare myself repellent-wise every time I go outside but my mother-in-law, husband, and brother-in-law aren't bothered by mosquitoes at all. Jeez, that's just not fair at all! :-)
Thank you all for your wonderful comments. :-)
