evinrude

how could i have almost forgotten that finally, i got my own evinrude last monday. sorry, evin, the dogs had to be posted first.

on our way to the beaches we passed by the pond hoping to see the swans but i suppose they had gone to a better location. but this gorgeous guy just hammed it up for me until i could get a good focus. i would have gotten more shots, but director steven spielberg was telling me to shoot the young ducks instead, even though i had told him i've got ducks in my album already.

one off the bucket list! or maybe not, because when i get to see more evinrudes, i shall shoot more.

thank you for your views and comments; know that they are much appreciated. now i'm off to your albums.
Wonderful capture Vikki and a Fav for me. Awesome focus!

Lovely capture. The diaphanous wings are lovely. Pure gossamer.

@slang - he's probably tired, remember the bats chasing him?
September 8th, 2012  
That is where he went! Glad you found him.

Is that what they are called. We have some similar here, but I just called them "dragonflys." Good closeup.

@henrir - yes, henri, you are right, they are called dragonflies. "evinrude" is the name of the dragonfly character in the old disney movie 'the rescuers'. the grandsons, when they were little, they loved to watch that movie on dvd over and over and that's how i got to know the characters. thank you, henri.

@summerfield Oh, how funny. I guess since I haven't had little ones in many, many years, I missed that one. I thought I had learned something new. LOL
