A few more trail shots

Gotta get up pretty early in the morning to get these :)

There were about 10 keepers out of 75 or so shots.. that's about right.

Very nice images.

10 good ones out of 75 shots in this digital age is great shooting.

wow Rich. Nice shots especially the first four.

Lovely series of shots, Rich, especially the early sun glinting off the dragonflies wings, it really pulls them away from the foliage. They normally get lost in the background.

That's a good point. The sun was actually rising in this case, but it's the same affect. If you look at this guys poor wings, you'll see that something else has pulled some chunks of his wings away too!

Thanx for the compliments. That last shot was cute, a female grackle feeding a 'baby huey' of a grackle! I got a series of shots where she passes over some kind of slug or something. That's a BIG little bird!
