It’s the season for the huge red dragonflies. They’re out swooping over my pool. I should go join them, but I’m sure the water it is too hot since it is still coming in from the mineral hot spring that feeds the pool.
Now a flotilla of white butterflies are swooping around between the dragonflies. Like a busy freeway out there. Lots of cloverleafs. I’d like to get a photo of the dragonflies, but they zoom over and just alight for a second––not long enough to shoot. After ten unproductive minutes, I just focused on a palm frond hanging out over the water, hoping one would light there. Wonder of wonders, one did, but just as I snapped it, Morrie ran up with his ball and scared it away! Morrie!!!
I’m going in to download the SD card to my computer and see if I got anything.
Lo and behold, I did!
Until Morrie arrived—
and there were none!

What a shame to be so afraid of each other, especially when the other is not predator!

We get those big red dragonflies here, too. They come originally from China or India. They are quite beautiful. I love watching them dart around the rivers.

I had never seen them before I came to Mexico. We have the other variety as well, but at a different time. Our moths and butterflies come in bunches at different times as well, according to color. Small white ones now, yellow ones later, big brown moths earlier. Monarchs I didn’t see here because I don’t have milkweed, but my friend Betty had them a few weeks ago. Love seeing these cycles of nature. Daddy longlegs are just starting to congregate.

Love the dragonflies. Rare to see pix of red ones.

And they are so thick and chunky.. unlike the sliver thin ones I’ve always seen before.
