Last Saturday Rozanne Rapozo was at a friend's lily pond in Gualala. There she found dragonflies, as they zipped around like the tiny helicopters they are. The first is the orange Flame Skimmer. Look how very nicely this dragonfly posed for Rozanne. They never do that for me!

And here is an Eight-spotted Skimmer.

A Blue Dancer was also spotted, but that will be for another post.

Thanks to Rozanne for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

This morning fog blanketed the coast and a ways inland. It pulled back as the morning progressed, at least in Anchor Bay. It's in the low 70's with a...you guessed it!...a breeze. Happy Summer Equinox!

The first day of summer was preceded by one of hottest days I can remember. The Pacific Ocean usually works as our air conditioner but Mother Nature had something else in mind. Huckleberry, our Golden Retriever, headed for one of the deepest ponds on the creek that cuts through our property. He knows how to cool off! Happy first day of summer to those in the Northern Hemisphere!
