hitchhiker

Just for fun ... this female pondhawk landed on my flipflop as I was walking in the yard this summer. Pondhawks will often follow me around like cattle egrets do - hoping I'll stir up a bug they can pounce on. These small dragonflies are fierce predators.

I've still got hundreds of shots queued up in the archives and a new season is about to begin!

jewelweed (Impatiens capensis)

These small wildflowers can be found in moist locations from mid-summer into fall, and are often associated with poison ivy. They're a great nectar source for Ruby-throated hummingbirds.
