"Hand-feeded"

I was out one afternoon in rather cloudy weather, and found a small damselfly perched in the tall grass. I put my finger under its legs, and was able to have it sit on my finger to study it up close. That way I could see that it was a male Ischnura elegans which is very common in Denmark, and not th...

Interesting pictures and details you've captured. Great to learn something new thats millions of years old :-)

Great pictures you have taken from Zion NP in fall. I really like some of the rock-detail pictures in your link. I have only been in the park for one full day in May 2004, and I did the Angels landing trail. I can only suggest that walk to others, that are not scared of heights :D The views from the...

A female flew between my legs, to the bank of the small creek, and with the body in a vertical position, continously spiked its ov...
