These photos were made around the yard on Thursday. It was quite unusual to see large darners hanging around the yard.

On Friday evening we put the kayaks in Gregg Lake and explored the wetlands at the north end.
Joan dragged her boat over the beaver dam and explored a bit on the upper side. The water on the upper side is roughly two feet higher than the lower side. On the return trip Joan fell in while trying to get back into her boat! I found enough to photograph without getting out of my kayak.
It was rather late in the day for odes, so I did not take the “ode rig”. Rather I took the little V1 and looked for other subjects.
There were a lot of vesper bluets out and about, so I’ll have to head out again soon with the ode rig. I did not even try photographing them with the V1 as it simply does not have anywhere near the magnification needed.
