Blue dashers live near still, calm bodies of water, such as ponds, marshes, slow-moving waterways, and ditches, in warm areas typically at low elevations. The adults roost in trees at night.
The blue dasher hunts by keeping still and waiting for suitable prey to come within range. When it does, they dart from their position to catch it.

I never know how many photos I will have to delete whenever Coleman gets ahold oh my phone. This time it was over > 100 photos. Luckily I caught it in time before the backup to the cloud was initiated.
Some of the other photos were similar to these and others were of the rug, parts of his train tracks, or nothing at all. Hope you are not bothered too much by the open with food it mouth shots. It just turned four (4) so his pictures can be interesting at times.

The widow skimmer (Libellula luctuosa) is one of the group of dragonflies known as king skimmers.
This species is found commonly in muddy substrates, or still bodies of waters such as ponds, lakes, streams, and creeks.
They are predators that prey on other insects such as mosquitoes. They catch their prey using their legs and use their fangs to bring prey into their mouth.

These were take at Glencairn Gardens in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Most of the plants and flowers are not in bloom. It appeared as if the had been trimmed way down for winter. Best time to visit the Gardens is in the springtime.
The next entry isn’t a flower and is added just for kicks. The photo was taken with my iPhone by my three year old grandson. All other photos were taken by me with my Canon Rebel EOS T3i.
