Hot Summer Dragonfly: ISO400, 600mm, f/8.0, 1/500
IIt is very Hot here in our part of Canada. I had a minor accident here at home and did not feel like adventuring far from home today.
I sat on our back porch and saw this lone dragonfly perch atop our dying Pear tree.
Dragonflies do not like to be approached, so I had to take this with a long zoom.

Fledgling Robin on a Butterfly Bush: ISO 1000, 150mm, f/5.7, 1/1600
The Robins must have had a second brood this year. This was taken late July.
This one allowed me to get close for a few shots. I then let the parents come with some food.
