Interesting Wildlife on the Bike Trail

    Juvenile Red Tail Hawk - I decided to take photos of it from a different perspective.  He/She was    perched right above the trail

  I decided to take this pic from an upside down point of view.  I laughed when it looked down at me.

             Same pic as above - but it is rotated. 

         Damselflies are so intriguing.  Their colors and body shape are so beautiful.

   I have been wanting to catch a Dragonfly in flight for sometime.
