This was taken in 2015. I went to a place where people were seeing them hunting in twilight. I parked my car and was thrilled when this one landed on a post directly opposite my window. The fading west light was behind and oblique. It was a cool evening, and there was frost on the background vegetation.
I did post two shots from that encounter shortly after. For this series, I chose a raw file that I hadn’t worked on and with more experience and processing tools, came up with something I like for this series.
Taken at Gamble Garden, Palo Alto. Actually there are around ~6000 different species of them! This is just one!
Architecture in popular tourist resorts could seem dull, while at second look light, pattern or detail can be fascinating.

A new species for my prairie bee and wasp species set, with a confirmed iNaturalist ID. This is the only bee I've seen around here with some reddish-colored fuzz. I've looked for more of these in subsequent days but didn't find any.

The mouth of the Bega River on the NSW Far South Coast. This is one of the few rivers presently contributing sand size sediment to its adjoining embayment. This only occurs during floods when flow velocities are sufficient to move coarse sediment through the estuarine basin, facilitated by the extensive infilling that has occurred over the last few thousand years. Because of their size, these sands can continue to nourish Tathra Beach. In non-flood times, breaking waves aided by flood tide currents can sweep some of the sediment back into the estuary. The balance between river flow, tidal currents and onshore wave power also controls the frequency and duration of river mouth opening.
