Flame Skimmer

Flame Skimmer

I was at the High Hand Gardening Center in Loomis, California. This beautiful Dragonfly kept taking off and landing an I had a hard time getting his picture.

Male Flame Skimmers are known for their entirely red or dark orange body, this includes eyes, legs, and even wing veins. Females are usually a medium or darker brown with some thin, yellow markings. This particular type of skimmer varies in size but is generally measured somewhere between two and three inches long.[1] These naiads are known for being rather large and chubby-looking due to their rounded abdomen. They are covered with hair but, unlike most young dragonflies, they lack hooks or spines. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_Skimmer

While on a mini vacation trip with my Father to San Simeon, California we stopped at Hearst Castle. This is the beautiful and awesome indoor pool. I tried my best to take pictures with both my cameras in the low light levels.

Dinning on a fence...

Dinning on a fence...

While driving to San Simeon California on Hwy 1 I stopped at a beach where there were Elephant Seals to be photographed. However, these cute little guys were there to greet you as you drove up. There were perhaps about 40 of them all along the fence line waiting for some hand out. I was glad to see that they also choose to eat their natural foods and didn't expect human food to be their main source!
