A female Eastern bluebird is all puffed up and fluffy; looks like an old-fashioned powder puff in a lady’s boudoir! I took this photo on my patio. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, “The Eastern Bluebird is a small thrush with a big, rounded head, large eye, plump body, and alert posture. The wings are long, but the tail and legs are fairly short. The bill is short and straight. Male Eastern Bluebirds are vivid, deep blue above and rusty or brick-red on the throat and breast. Blue in birds always depends on the light, and males often look plain gray-brown from a distance. Females are grayish above with bluish wings and tail, and a subdued orange-brown breast. Eastern Bluebirds perch erect on wires, posts, and low branches in open country, scanning the ground for prey. They feed by dropping to the ground onto insects or, in fall and winter, by perching on fruiting trees to gulp down berries. Bluebirds commonly use nest boxes as well as old woodpecker holes. Eastern Bluebirds live in meadows and openings surrounded by trees that offer suitable nest holes. With the proliferation of nest boxes and bluebird trails, bluebirds are now a common sight along roads, field edges, golf courses, and other open areas.” Information above provided at the following address: / http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Eastern_Bluebird/id

Mt. Annupuri – Hokaido – Japan. Simple shot but one of my favs…
Water droplet splash, it reminded me of the antique candy bowls my grandma had.
I shot this in Stockholm, Sweden at an outdoor park. I zoomed in for more of an effective, hypnotic flair (and I made it B&W with an additional blue feathered tint).
THE SUBJECT: / A handsome specimen of the male Orthetrum caledonicum (Blue Skimmer Dragonfly) caught in the gorgeous light late on an autumn afternoon. THE LOCATION: / Beside a large pond on a Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club friend’s property at Kundabung, between Kempsey and Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. THE MAKING of ‘Powder Blue (Orthetrum caledonicum – Blue Skimmer Dragonfly)’: / With my lens stretched out to its full zoom I stood at times teetering on the crumbling edge of the pond trying to get just that bit closer to the Dragon. Gravity almost got me once but luckily I recovered my balance. / Fuji S9600: RAW, f/4.9 @ 1/170sec, Manual focus, ISO80, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Insects & Spiders collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more wingéd delights. NOTE: 22-4-09 / I lightened the image slightly and gave the saturation a tweak then made a print on Ilford Galerie Smooth High Gloss Media. Superb! UPDATE: 1-5-09 / This lovely blue beauty has been featured in the Australian Travel Photography and Writing Group. Enjoy! DRAGONS & DAMSELS / (Click the links!)
