This bright blue Eastern Pondhawk dragonfly is a male; its mate is apple green in color. Both are beautiful and graceful and very helpful to humans as they eat enormous numbers of mosquitoes daily. In fact, they are commonly referred to as mosquito hawks because they’re predators on the prowl for the offensive pests!

16×20” oil painting on canvas The Slender Loris. In this painting, I have put a loris in a teardrop that is shared by two eyes. The eyes make up two separate lorises, but if you look again you will see that the two eyes make up an ADDITIONAL loris, with its mouth under the teardrop. The Slender Loris has a population which is steadily declining for many reasons, one of which is that it is killed for its tears which are believed by locals to have medicinal purposes. The tear is a focal point in this painting because it is a reason the population is declining, and there is another loris suspended in the teardrop. The lorises will soon be extinct if we don’t intervene. This animal is on the FOCAL list of Edge of Existence Species, which means it was in the top 10 list for 2007. Its habitat is declining and it is killed for meat.

If it could be said that flowers have emotions then this very pretty little Thelymitra pauciflora (Slender Sun Orchid) bloom would be shy and timid as these native Australian terrestrial orchids open and close depending on the sunlight. I photographed this beautiful specimen along the Ocean Drive Fire Trail near Queen’s Lake Nature Reserve at North Haven, NSW, Australia, about a thirty minute drive south of Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia. I really like how the centres of these beautiful flowers look like bees. Visit my Aussie Wildflower collection in my BubbleSite for more native orchid gems.

Beautiful perched village in the Alpes-Maritimes. / Ilonse was built on the sunny mountainside and offers a beautiful / scenery to the visitors. / It is a picturesque medieval village which is worth seeing. / The church towers above the surrounding houses. / You can see its particular triangular steeple. / Go to Ilonse on a sunny day, it is gorgeous ! / The road which leads to this village is very pleasant and you are / obliged to stop your car to behold all the wonderful view-points.
