Today dawned overcast, but the past few days have been sunny and right around seventy degrees… perfect weather for odonates!
I was able to get out and hunt odes for four days straight. Thursday, I headed for the Contoocook River and the Lovern’s Mill cedar swamp. I was almost shut out… I finally saw a few odes (the third and fourth photos) in the small meadow next to the road where I had parked the truck at Lovern’s Mill.
All of the rest of the photos were taken within a short walk of the house or at camp. The butterfly visited the flower box hanging from the deck railing while I was eating lunch on Thursday. I am learning to keep the camera ready at all times!

Ah, back to the Frank we got to know so well – odes! They all look great and extremely sharp throughout. Still amazed as to how you manage to sneak up on them and get the shot!
