Dragon Flying To and Fro

Back at the local lagoon to check out the dragonfly action. And there were two of them at least so there was some action going on. I'm not sure if this is the same one front and back. I didn't catch their names to verify.

All That Sparkles Is Not Diamonds

Ok, so it's part of an experiment and exercise in timing, trying to get the shutter going to capture some interesting drops of water I'm throwing into a dish while getting the flash and reflector to illuminate it interestingly and clearly. Admittedly I need further practice, but I ended up being impressed with the completely unexpected pure sparkle effect that water droplets can give when shot with a ray of light. You could stick one of those in a ring and impress a girl!
