My dad’s collection of Chinese pots – some date from around the 1600s I believe, and they were brought to Australia by the early Chinese immigrants. He dug them up in the Goldfields around Victoria, back in his digging days. No wonder I wanted to be an archaeologist.

A macro shot of a dragonfly that was on the ground mating I lay on the ground too, It was a brilliant sunny day and I struggled to get a decent shot. I think this one came out the best.

Taken at Catherington Pond,I must have just missed this one emerging, if you look closely you can see the wings near the body are still wet and the dragonfly’s body has not developed any colour yet, it is even still holding onto the old larval skin. It was difficult to photograph as it was hidden amongst the reeds. / Female dragonflies lay eggs in or near water, often on floating or emergent plants. When laying eggs, some species will submerge themselves completely in order to lay their eggs on a good surface. Most of a dragonfly’s life is spent in the naiad (that is, nymph) form, beneath the water’s surface, using internal gills to breathe, and using extendable jaws to catch other invertebrates or even vertebrates such as tadpoles, fish, etc. Some nymphs even hunt on land, an aptitude which could easily have been more common in ancient times when terrestrial predators were clumsier. The larval stage of large dragonflies may last as long as five years. In smaller species, this stage may last between two months and three years. When the larva is ready to metamorphose into an adult, it climbs up a reed or other emergent plant at night. Exposure to air causes the larvae to begin breathing. The skin splits at a weak spot behind the head and the adult dragonfly crawls out of its old larval skin, waits for the sun to rise, pumps up its wings, and flies off to feed on midges and flies. The adult stage of larger species of dragonfly can last as long as four months.

I just missed watching this dragonfly emerge by minutes…...I spotted this dragonfly hidden amongst the reeds. It must have only just emerged as it’s body as well as being colourless was also very transparent and as I took some snaps it kept pumping it’s body to get the blood flowing to pump up it’s wings. This process usually takes 2-3 hours and then they fly off to feed and start the search for a female only returning to the pond to guard it’s mate as she lays her eggs. Taken at Catherington Pond

This male common darter kept returning to the fence with his food and didn’t seem to mind my camera up close….. this time I caught him before he had eaten his catch. Best viewed large

Taken at Catherington Pond, I saw this dragonfly watching the insects and every few minutes it flew up from the fence and caught a fly, then landed back on the fence to eat it. Best viewed large

Who ever said weeds are ugly?

I love this image, a dragonfly’s wings are so beautiful to look at and I think in this photo the sun shows them off beautifully. This one was perched high in a tree above me, I stood on tip toe ( yes my height challanges me all the time) trying to avoid the dazzling sun. Well judge for yourself…......
