Back in blue. Happy Independence Day ❣️🇺🇲  

Thank you, Erquiaga! I wanted to match this little guy! 😁 Have a wonderful day!  

Pretty 🤗  

great picture! 

WOW that is gorgeous 

Awesome shot! ❣️ The Mosquito Patrol has landed. 

Hey, nice drop! And pretty dragonfly! Have a great 4th. 🗽 

Thanks all!!! Now if I don't gain again after today... 😁💙 I was busily spraying my roses (thankfully something totally nontoxic) when I turned around and there he was. He was so big... I think about four inches long!!! 🖤💙🖤💙 

Beautiful photo, love!! 💖 

AWESOME photo, Melissa! It's hard to get a photo like that, I know. Insects just don't comprehend posing, so you have to have some skills, or get lucky. Fantastic! ❤ 

WOW - great photo...and some weight loss, too! 

beautiful  

Thank you! And, Lonnie, I was lucky! Funny thing was the little guy flew away after I got a photo, but then came back to the bush! It was like he knew I needed a better picture! 😁  

He's gorgeous!  

Most of my photos are pure luck, Melissa. Even this one that I took in Alaska. https://flic.kr/p/2iWhKFV 

And this one from North Carolina. https://flic.kr/p/5wMmMG 

Thank you, rivy! Lonnie, I love those photos. Those otters!!!!! They have the cutest faces ever! I have a son who has loved otters since he was tiny. I used to try to find stuffed otters for him and he still had them!!! I think it was because our zoo has a fantastic encloser for river otters, and we could see them swim underwater. He would watch them forever! I'll show him your photo! Yes, so much of photography is just having the right moment for sure!  

I love otters too, Melissa. We actually saw a whole family of otters at Fish Creek Reservoir a couple weeks ago, but every time I got my camera aimed in their direction, they'd instantly disappear underwater.
